Looking at the MLS standings in the middle of May can be extremely deceiving. The top two teams in the Eastern Conference are the Montreal Impact and New York City FC. Both clubs have a total of 16 points, but what if we told you, that you were looking at the wrong category?
The Philadelphia Union sit third in the current standings with 15 points, however they have played in fewer matches than both clubs ahead of them. The Union actually lead every team in the Eastern Conference in points per game with 1.5.
Philadelphia is currently going through the meat of their schedule.
