Nope, no way the NL has the advantage. Think about it. The AL has a solid 9 man lineup of batters that play 140+ games that way. The NL has an 8 man lineup and then has to toss in a backup player to fill the DH spot. How many ab's does that player get all year? 50? How often does he bat more than once in a game? The NL might be used to the strategy of pinch hitting and when to sub the pitcher a little better and possibly be better at bunting.
