More close games means more excitement.
While the DH rule increases offense, the amount of increase is not enough to account for the stereotypical big-scoring American League game. Also, since both teams use the DH, any increase in scoring should apply equally to both teams and close, exciting games should be just as prevalent. I enjoy watching both and each produces its own brand of excitement. Big-scoring blowout games are produced by a combination of factors. Inept pitching and defense are two of the biggest contributors to those scores.
