The advantage goes to the AL team because they have a player who only exists to bat and produce runs. Most NL pitchers can't bat well at all so that doesn't give them much of an advantage of AL pitchers anyway. Look at the Phils, they don't have a spare player that bats .300+ and has 250+ at bats to be DH. The advantage definitely goes to the AL.
