Dynamo failed to pick up points so they remain at -11. Dynamo have 7 games left, 3 home and 4 away. Playoff cut line is SJE at -1. So Dynamo cannot lose or -1 is unobtainable. Sports club Stats though is predicting that playoff cut line is likely to fall to -3. Who hear thinks the Dynamo can win 6 of 7? Yeah ... I thought so. Fat lady is in full voice now.

Sports club stats updated its simulation: using the weighted method the Dynamo chances are 0.9%, 4.6% on the 50/50 method. Let's average them and say it is 2.8%. Likely line is 48 points or -3. With 6 teams at 41 or more points with 7 games left, Dallas on 40 with 6 games remaining and Portland at 37 with 8 games remaining (7 at home), that line could move up but not likely going to drop much unless someone goes 1-6 down the stretch. Dynamo almost need to win out, at least 5 and likely 6 out of 7 wins needed. Extremely unlikely http://www.sportsclubstats.com/USA/Houston.html
So It is very interesting. I understand and consider very solid SportsClubStats methodology. What you say is right -- they show a high probability that the playoff cutline drops as low as 48 (-3). Counter to that is that the playoff cutline is currently -1 (50). It has been stable for 6 weeks and could easily stay that way. Looking at the current table, and given there is only one top end performer but three bad teams it just intuitively seems more likely that the cutline moves up or stays the same. I'm not sure I completely understand why. 8/26/19 MLS Western Conference Table Pts team games left ===================== 23 LAFC 4h 3a --------------------- 7 POT 7h 1a 4 SEA 4h 3a 1 RSL 3h 4a --------------------- 0 MUFC 3h 4a 0 LAG 3h 4a -1 SJE 3h 4a ============ -2 FCD 3h 3a -8 SKC 3h 4a -11 HOU 3h 4a -12 VCW 4h 2a -15 COR 3h 4a
I think the weighted method takes current standings and road/home splits into consideration. San Jose has a fairly tough schedule on the way so the simulations may have them only getting to 47 points In many scenarios

VCW dropping to -15 and COR rising to -12 are the only changes so far this week in the Western Conf. Dynamo remain -11. The playoff line remains -1. With only 3 rd games to play the Dynamo can at best get to -2. So the Fat lady is wrapping up her song. The Dynamo need to win out six in a row and even then, may fall short.

Dynamo playoff chances down to 0.1 to 0.7% per projections.

POT's collapse is epic. Of all the teams that have had the late-opening stadium schedule I've never seen one handle the early road trip better. Now they are getting close to screwing the pooch. Only VCW, COR and SKC have more home losses in the conference this year. Last night was significant. Three games, no home goals. Only multi-game day this year without a home goal. Home teams are scoring 58% of goals. Here is the West down the stretch. Looking more and more likely that 50 points (-1) may be needed to make the playoffs. 22 LAFC ---------- 3 MUFC @pot, skc, lafc, @ sea 2 SEA @DCU, @sje, mufc 1 RSL @ner, lag, hou, @vcw ---------- 1 POT mufc, ner, @skc, sje 0 LAG mtl, @rsl, vcw, @hou -1 SJE @atl, phu, sea, @pot ======== -1 FCD nyc, @cor, skc -8 SKC -11 HOU -12 COR -15 VCW
