Dynamo are -6 when you look at it "versus par" rather than total points. That is if they win as many points on the road as they drop at home over the last 12 games (7 on road, 5 at home) they will finish on 45 points. Currently the last playoff spot is at +1. So the Dynamo need to win 7 more points on the road than they drop at home to make the playoffs. Realistically, I could see that playoff spot number drop at games become almost solely within the conferences. But no matter what -- the fat lady is warming up on this season. The Dynamo will need a very strong last third of the season to salvage something. Also -- #4 playoff spot (the last one that gets to host a playoff game) is at +2.
I've referenced before that I think only playoff spots 1-4 have real value. Here is why: Obviously, any team can host the MLS cup if the other conference sends a team lower on the combined league wide table. So -- looking at the conference playoff bracket and discussing conference playoffs only: #7 can never host a playoff game. #6 can only host one playoff game in the conference semi-finals IF #7 beats #2. #5 can only host the conference final IF #7 or #6 are the opponent from the bottom half of the bracket. Also, many are concluding that one-off knock-out games give the lower seed a better chance to prevail. I disagree. Home teams win approximately 2/3rds of one-game knockouts. Historically second leg home teams prevail in 3/5ths of two-legged cup ties. That share has been significantly reduced with the introduction of away goals rule. As many league technical staffs have been quoted as saying the days of slipping into the playoffs in the last spots and making a cup run are probably over. If this system was to be kept in place for a while (doubtful) it would be interesting to see how it plays out -- but my back of the envelope mental figurin (technical term) suggests that a 5, 6 or 7 seed will make the MLS cup only once every 7-10 years (assuming all else is equal which it never is). Lastly - I think wtf am I thinking about the playoffs in a Houston Dynamo forum?

NY Red Bulls 9:00 pm FS1 There are 13 league games this week with all teams playing at least once and Houston and NYCFC playing twice. The US Open Cup and Canadian Championship continue mid-week.
23 games played. 11 to play. 4 at home. 7 on the road. Dynamo are at -9. Playoff qualification is at -1. 4th place is at +2. I think playoff spot falls to -2 or -3, maybe -4. So at best the Dynamo need to win 6 of 11, but could easily be 7 of 11. It would be a run of form not seen in a decade. Next two games are on the road against the two highest teams on the East conference table (when looking at it against par). So in a week it could easily be needing to win 6 of 9. I hear the singing of a very fat lady.
7th spot in West likely at 48 points. So probably minimum 5 wins and some ties or 6 wins. 4 of next 5 are on the road, August probably settles it as they have to get a win on the road. Having 7 spots in playoffs keeps hope alive longer
I edited my post. I had incorrectly counted home games left. I'm at 6 wins needed as well. Only four home games to get them. So at least 2 on the road along with perfect at home.
Also -- no value in 5, 6 or 7th playoff spot. If you can win three roads game in a row against top competition in MLS you are not finishing that low.
Although not mathematically impossible, I think we all know this Dynamo team can't make the playoffs. I'm getting excited about EPL. Arsenal plays at Newcastle to open the season this Sunday and my nephew, who is studying at Newcastle University, will be attending his first EPL game.
