The opening series for each team is done. There are only two undefeated teams -- Cinci and Milwaukee -- and two winless teams -- Mets and Pittsburgh. Interesting that all are in the NL.
I'm a classicist when it comes to baseball. So I prefer the style of play in the NL. I like the running game, the double switch, and that all players have to play defense.
It would interesting for someone to look up how the WS games in the NL parks have gone. Is the NL or the AL better in games without the DH over the last twenty years? I recall that in the Braves/Twins series in 91 as well as the Yankees/Diamondbacks in 01 the home team won every game.
While in one Braves/Yankees series, Atlanta won the first two in NY and then lost the next three at home, plus game 6 in NY.
So who knows?!?!
But I do believe that the Braves are going to do quite well again this year with that pitching staff.
