The refrain of general managers and team managers this year is that the National League is stacked and the American League is largely devoid of great teams. But the AL does seem to have one significant advantage over the NL -- the volume of dominant high-end starting pitchers.
No pitcher has been better over the past two seasons than Detroit's Tarik Skubal. No free agent signing has had a greater impact than Yankees left-hander Max Fried. The Rangers' Jacob deGrom is back in the conversation for best pitcher on the planet. Boston's Garrett Crochet overwhelms hitters with his power stuff.
