Contemplation Day is over, and Decision Day looms as we enter the final week of the 34-week slog that was the MLS 2017 season. For the Portland Timbers, Decision Day will NOT be the final home match of the 2017 season as they have clinched at least 4th place in the West and the home playoff game that comes with it. A win gives them 1st place in the West (and the Cascadia Cup), while a Loss or a Draw could still find them in 2nd with a bye (although Seattle would reclaim Cascadia Cup) if other results go their way.
