    Do NL games go UNDER more than AL games?
    Does anyone have a record for totals for Over/Unders for AL and NL games? In NL games, i know totals usually are going to be lower than AL games because you have a pitcher hitting and that is going to be an out most of the time.

    The first thing I'd look for is are NL total lines lower than AL ones on average?

    It would stun me if the linemakers hadn't already noticed this trend if there is one.

      I've only got data through June 26th of this year:

      Based on 5dimes closing totals, out of 402 AL games, average total was 8.69. There were 187 overs (46.5%), 193 unders (48.0%) and 22 pushes.

      Out of 473 NL games, average total was 8.43. There were 214 overs (45.2%), 235 unders (49.7%) and 24 pushes.

      So in a relatively small sample size, the difference seems to be minimal. For every 80 games or so, 1 more AL game goes over than NL.

      For 239 interleague games (thru 6/26), average total was 8.57. There were 120 overs (50.2%), 110 unders (46.0%) and 9 pushes.
