September 7, 201114 yr The AL Central has a .500 overall record against the AL West. The two division leaders have nearly identical records, and although Anaheim is the third best team in either division, Seattle and Oakland are really really bad. If the AL Central finishes with an above .500 record against the AL west, isn't it a better division? The NL Central is also clearly a bad division as well, worse than the AL Central. The AL Central beat the NL Central 18-12 in interleague this year. It can be argued that the NL west has three bad teams in it as well. Are the only two "good" divisions the two Eastern ones?

Isn't Houston going to be added to the AL West? That should make it pretty bad.
