The Seattle Sounders are Practically Guaranteed a Playoff Spot

This Sounders season has just been flat out ridiculous.

At one point in last place in the Western Conference, Seattle has now surged up into 5th place and all but cemented a spot in the 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs, something that practically everyone thought Seattle couldn’t do.

Sports Club Stats has Seattle currently sitting at a 98.8% chance of making the playoffs with the schedule they have now. Let that sink in a little bit. On September 15, ESPN’s SPI Projections had Seattle at a 26% chance of making the playoffs.
