"Best division in baseball?"

Ok, you can point to the NL Central overall W/L records, but do you really believe that the NL Central is the best division in MLB?

Do you believe that the NL Central is better than the AL East, West or even the Central?

Bear in mind that the NL Central, “the best division in MLB,” has a 42-51 record against the AL. And the Cards, Brewers and Cubs all have losing records to the AL. Only the Reds managed to walk away from interleague with a winning record.

NL Central best in the NL? Sure.
NL Central best in MLB? Hardly.
