ESPN’s Paul Carr tweeted out that the latest Soccer Power Index (SPI) has Toronto FC as the favorites to win MLS Cup. The results should not shock you. They list Toronto as a 63% favorite to beat the Seattle Sounders on Dec. 10 at BMO Field.
Imagine that, a home team that is favored to win at home. Who would have thought? The Sounders would have been a 60% favorite if the game was being played at CenturyLink Field.
Playing at home, Toronto FC is the SPI favorite to win MLS Cup. Seattle would have been a 60% favorite at home.
