Hometown recently finished its inter-league play for Season 5. In no big surprise the A.L. defeated the N.L. with a record of 103-89. Currently there are only 6 teams in the N.L. above 500. The A.L. on the other hand has eight teams over 500 with 2 teams only being one game below the mark. Some teams flourished in inter-league play while others forgot the games were being recorded. Nashville and New York were the best in the A.L. finishing with a 9-3 record over the 12 games. Five teams in the A.L Austin, Boise, Houston, Pawtucket and Seattle were right behind Nashville finishing with an 8-4 record in inter-league play. Pittsburgh was the team that forgot to show up as they finished with the worst record in the entire league over the 12 games as they finished 1-11. Nashville’s impressive record is somewhat overshadowed by the fact they got to play the worst statistical division in the N.L., that being the South. In fact Florida who is currently 9 games below 500 was the only team to win a series against Nashville in inter-league play. Both Houston and Austin who finished with an 8-4 mark also benefited from getting to play the N.L. South. The Mets the only other A.L. team to finish 9-3 also benefited from playing a weaker division in the N.L. East. Syracuse is the only team over 500 right now in that division. The N.L.’s best team in inter-league play was Syracuse, they also finished with a 9-3 record. Augusta, Chicago and Honolulu were close behind at 8-4 and Florida and Helena rounded out the top six as they finished with a 7-5 record. Washington was the worst team in the N.L. as they finished with a 2-10 record. Looking over the records of all the teams and comparing them with the divisions they played Boise and Seattle were the best from the A.L. because they both finished 8-4 and had to play one of the tougher divisions in the N.L. From the N.L. Honolulu was the best team as they finished with an 8-4 record and had to play three teams over 500. Other teams of note, Florida finished 7-5 which is only impressive because it was against the toughest division in the A.L. while Vancouver, Colorado and Las Vegas all finished 6-6 while having to play the toughest division from the N.L.
