The San Jose Earthquakes are ready for the MLS playoffs but who should they want to face?
The San Jose Earthquakes clinched their inclusion in the 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs with a 3-2 win over LAFC at Earthquakes Stadium, coming a long way from earlier perils. This was done with a game to spare, so their decision day matchup against the Seattle Sounders at CenturyLink Field will only have a bearing on seeding. The points per game model is still a bit tricky even if you got straight A’s in math back in high school, so I’ll briefly simplify matters:
- Quakes need to win and at least one of LAFC or Colorado Rapids to lose to get higher than an 8th seed.
