Top of the NL is the JV this year compared to the top of the AL The NL is 114-98 in interleague play this year. The AL sucks outside of the top teams. Their records are inflated from all these shitty teams they continually play. There are 10 teams in the NL that are multiple games over .500. It's hard to pile up wins when you don't get to beat up on shitty teams every week. And despite the loss tonight, the Cubs are 9-2 when they've played non-Indians AL teams. If the Cubs were in the AL Central, they'd probably be 30 games over .500.
