To answer the question of which league is better, the NL or AL, the number of wins for each league was calculated. The NL barely edged out the AL 94 - 98 in inter-league play.
When the teams with the 5 best records from each league played one another the AL edged the NL 13 - 11. This included from the NL the Marlins, Cubs, Astros, Reds, and Swingers. The AL was represented by the Corn Dogs (CD), Deuce Droppers (DD), Multiple Spouses (MS), Royals and Slobs. The Royals and Slobs didn't face any team from the NL with a top 5 record. The MS faced the Cubs and Reds. The DD and CD faced the Marlins, Astros, and Swingers. The Cubs and Swingers from the NL ended up with a winning record when facing top 5 AL teams. The Astros, Reds and Marlins all ended up with losing records when facing top 5 AL teams. The CD and DD ended up with winning records against top 5 teams from the NL. The MS ended up at .500 against top 5 teams from the NL.
Unfortunately this is inconclusive. Looks like we'll have to wait till the World Series to figure out who is better the NL or AL.
