Question by freewainwright: Why are there 14 american league teams and 16 national league teams in baseball?
Sorry, but this seems dumber than dumb. Why don’t they just move one of the national teams to the american side to even up the divisions? And, please, don’t bother and bore me with comments about “tradition.” It is dumb to keep it this way because the national league central division is at a big disadvantage in relation to the american league west.
It seems like they could work something out between inter-league play to fix the schdule.

its so each team has someone to play in there own league
if there were 15 in each one team would be left with out a team to play becaue interleague play only happens twice a year
