The statistical aficionados at fivethirtyeight.com have added Major League Soccer to their regularly updated tables of league soccer predictions. Seattle Sounders edge out Toronto FC and New York Red Bulls in predicted points and chance at winning MLS Cup. As is the case with so many things 538, the prediction table is a statistical model: it doesn’t incorporate any of that secret insider knowledge you’ve used to fill out your own personal power rankings or fantasy team, so there’s no point in quibbling with the authors on those points (let alone me).
Sounders rank 1st for inaugural 538 season predictions
