still not all no hitters are alike..... There are DHs in the AL who have 150 more hits for the year than the Pitchers spot in the NL gets all year against any team... an AL no hitter is worth a lot more than an NL no hitter
would you rather face David Ortiz or a guy that hits less than .175 on the year (can fill in 100 pitchers there)\
if you pitch 8 innings and lose the game even with no-hits its not considered a no hitter..
..you are facing only 8 real hitters in the NL for the most part while an AL pitcher faces 9 hitters
