on offense, and AL manager can set their lineup and just let it ride. Maybe they pinch hit late for a match-up (of course the three batter rule gets rid of lefty specialists so maybe late game substitutions becomes less of a thing in the al). In the NL when to pull pitchers adds the batting dynamic- 50% doesn't seem like too much of an exaggeration
if you look at it that way, yeah, but i consider shifting as part of the strategy and the DH does change how managers set lineups on a daily basis (easier to work in bench players). i feel like i saw a decent amount of pinch-hitting in the AL the last few years as well as double-switches/defensive replacements but i may be mindfacting
personally i like each way for its own reasons, AL baseball is more exciting to me as there's more chance for offense/bats in the lineups but NL baseball has those fun moments every week or so with pitchers in the game
