Interleague MLB wagering probabilities for 2010 are over and as usual, the American league was the champ but this year it was not by much.

In the 252 Interleague games, the American league went 134-118. Most of the results against the baseball lines for the Al was due to the fact of the results of the White Sox and Red Sox.

Baseball betting probabilities prefer the American league most of the time when they encounter the National League due to the fact of the recent dominance. The American League has not lost the season series against the NL since 2003. The American league can thank the White Sox, who went an amazing 15-3 in Interleague play, this year. The White Sox went from also-rans in the American league Central contest to a contender due to the fact of their results in Interleague play.

The leading hitter in Interleague event was Texas' Josh Hamilton who hit .472 with 34 hits. New York Mets third baseman David Wright had 24 RBIs to lead all hitters in Interleague play. Chicago's Mark Buehrle had the most wins with four in Interleague event while Jack Peavy had the lowest ERA at 0.78. Bobby Jenks had the most saves with 8.

Various other teams also had great results against the baseball probabilities, though the White Sox were unreal in Interleague play. The Boston Red Sox made a major run in the standings based on their Interleague history. Boston went 13-5 in Interleague play. In their 18 Interleague games, the Texas Rangers went 14-4.

Even with the White Sox, Red Sox and Rangers doing extremely well against the baseball lines, the American League only barely won the in total series. The New York Mets did nicely for the National League as they went 13-5.

Interleague play was not all great news for the American league as the boston Red Sox suffered a number of injuries. They lost 2nd baseman Dustin Pedroia, starting pitcher Clay Buchholz and catcher Victor Martinez due to the fact of injury. The Florida Marlins went so far as to fire their manager Fredi Gonzalez after they played badly in Interleague play.

A fierce rivalry was born that continues to this day when the American league was created in 1901 to challenge the National League's monopoly on pro baseball.

The American League's regular domination of the MLB season can easily be attributed to a number of factors other than the statistics of its players. For example, the AL has the designated hitter rule. This essentially gives Al teams a big edge over National League teams by offering them an extra man. Given the history of interleague play this year it is clearly not that most of an edge, but it might make the difference.

Between 1903 and 2009, there have been 105 World Series played. (The Series was cancelled in 1904 and 1994). The American league has won 63 times while the National League has won only 42 times in those 105 series.

For now, we say goodbye to Interleague event. A full slate of Interleague games will not happen again until next May and the American league and National League will not meet again until the World Series.
