Is MLS Eastern Conference stronger this year?

At the beginning of the season, Orlando City coach Adrian Heath said the Eastern Conference of MLS was more competitive this year.

It was a little early to tell back thenm but now that the season is closing in on the midway point, let's see if he was correct.

A quick look at MLS standings and a casual observer may come to the conclusion that the Eastern Conference is terrible compared to the West. The No. 1 team in the East, Philadelphia, has five wins and a total of 20 points, while its Western counterpart, Colorado, has tallied eight wins and 28 points.
