Let’s get this out of the way first, the Sounders are officially in the playoffs if they draw today and a bunch of things happen in the other games or if they win. Just win.
If the Sounders make another run to the MLS Cup, it would be nice to host. To that end the Sounders can not catch Toronto FC, NYCFC or Atlanta United but they do have an outside shot of catching the Chicago Fire. And the Fire look like a team that could make a deep run in the playoffs. The Fire are home for Philadelphia today and at Houston to finish the season.
