National League dominating 2025 MLB inter-league rivalry

 In the 2025 chapter of Major League Baseball's (MLB's) inter-league rivalry, National League (NL) teams are dominating their American League (AL) rivals 28 wins to 23 (55%-45%). 

The AL East is 14-6 (70%), but the AL Central is 1-11 (8%). 

After 14 consecutive AL triumphs from 2004 through 2017, the NL won the inter-league contest for 5 of 7 seasons starting from 2018 through 2024.

The "brain gap" between AL and NL team managements shrank over the years thanks to the brain drain of smarty-pants and smarty-skirt executives who started with AL squads before crossing over to manage NL teams. 

The AL's only remaining claim to superiority is winning 10 of the past 11 All-Star contests, 22 of the last 26 to reach a decision and 28 of 35.

None of this information is useful for betting purposes. Gambling odds are almost never fair for gamblers. For the vast majority, it's not possible to earn a long-term profit gambling.
