Regardless of the merit of the rest of Roy's argument, AL East teams
play MORE than one-half of their games against AL West opponents.
That's because

	(1) the AL doesn't believe in divisional play, and schedules
	    the same number of games in an inter-divisional (e.g.
	    Detroit-Texas) matchup as in an intra-divisional (e.g.
	    Detroit-Milwaukee) one, and
	(2) Each AL Eastern team has seven AL West opponents, but only
	    six from the East.
