Mitch argues the American League is clearly stronger than the National League this year. He cites Reds pitching and defense, weaker hitting, and higher batting averages in the AL with ten hitters above .325 in 100+ games. He notes Reds top the NL but lacks consistent offense and overall scoring compared to the AL.
