No difference for me. Just remember when pitchers change leagues that the American League has nine batters vs. eight for the NL, so adjust the ERAs by 0.25 or so.

i find the american league easier to cap for overs and the national for unders. winners are easier to pick in the american league as well. i think the pitcher batting has a lot to do with this. when a pitcher comes up in the national league in non-bunting critical situations it tends to throw the games off kilter.

I have shown better numbers in AL over the last 3 seasons, but they may be because I usually bet AL 10-15% more. National league has a lot less of the yanks/sox/tigers/etc clubs where you can clearly see nights that they are overvalued due to the allstars on the club.
