But most NL pitcher's bat just as bad as an AL pitcher would. Many bat below .100. It isn't as big of an advantage, not as big as a DH over a bench player anyway.

hmmm. Interesting.

This year:

AL pitchers hit: 105/134/120/254
NL pitchers hit: 143/177/176/353

AL DH's hit: 252/332/425/758
NL DH's hit: 218/286/366/652

Now granted its a small sample size but the difference in OPS is very very similar to be honest. Difference in wOBA is probably similar too, so it leads me to honestly believe that there is no advantage to either side.

Whatever, it just seems wrong IMO. Maybe the difference is greater than I thought for pitchers.

Sure it "seems" wrong. A lot of things seem wrong when you first think about it. I would absolutely have been on your side had I just had to guess, but diving into it a little more it seems like its not as big of a deal as originally thought.
