I really don't think there is any legitimate argument to be made based on whether any team is better or worse than any other team, since that changes over time. The rules regarding inter-league play need to be utterly dispassionate and unconcerned with who's good and who's bad. There is simply no reason for the Cubs to play the Sox with more frequency than they play other AL teams. Gaming the schedules to exploit rivalries is just the wrong thing to do.
Another upshot of how this is wrong is this; I'd love to drive to KC to see the Cubs play but I'm waiting years for that opportunity because the Royals already play a ridiculous number of games against another team in the NL Central. I think the Cubs ought to come to KC exactly as often as the Cardinals do.
