NL DH, inevitable?

Right, the Cardinals. 8-5 then, and one win for the NL Central instead of the AL Central. And yes, those four Yankees wins definitely are the deciding factor... but "six AL east wins" says to me more that the Yankees and Red Sox are really good teams... and while the Yankees haven't won since 2000, they haven't exactly stood by. They've been in several more World Series (2001 in one of the most exciting World Series ever and 2003) since then as well. They're always the team to beat... are you saying 'it's just because of the luck that the Yankees are in the AL and not the NL that the AL has won more'? Hmm... the AL has 61 wins total, the NL 42, the Yankees 26 (which is 16 more than anyone else), so perhaps there's truth to that...

I also was interested to notice that the Eastern divisions win more. It's 9-4 East to Central/West... but a lot of the oldest, richest teams are in the East (Atlanta, Boston, New York, etc) so that's not THAT surprising... though two of those are those two Florida wins which are somewhat anomalous, I think. I mean, they built two good teams, won, and immediately began to fall apart again each time, and they still have no real fanbase and no baseball-exclusive stadium... I have to wonder how long they're going to stick around in that kind of situation.
