You get what you pay for: the AL/NL discrepancy

[hoyasnaxa]

If the Yankees were to switch to the National League, the distribution would reverse. I think it will balance out more in the near future, and I think the rise of the Mets and the NL West will help that, but the AL has the Yankees and Red Sox, has to pay another hitter due to the DH, and because of this should be the league with higher payrolls.

The AL has also done better in interleague play and All Star games, but I really dont think there is a drastic difference in GM quality between the two leagues.
