The pitcher-batter matchup is the heart of baseball, you've got to pay a lot of attention to it in either league... in the AL you don't have that 9-slot pitcher you can ignore so you've got to pay more attention to ALL the batters... can't just do anything with #8 because you know #9's a definite out. It might wear out pitchers faster, though... in the NL pitchers can last longer into games because of how much easier the lineups are, with that pitcher on the end.
