On a PPG basis, the East in 2017 (1.52 PPG) did better than the West in 2016 (1.44 PPG). Ties were down which will inflate the PPG for both sides somewhat (and is a pretty random factor as best as I can tell). There were 30 ties in 2016 (30% of games), and only 32 in 2017 despite playing 22 additional interconference games (26% of games drew).  The East PPG in 2016 was 1.26 which is slightly better than the West’s 1.22 this year.

The East clinched the season series in Week 29. It has 13 more wins than the West with only 8 games remaining. Meanwhile, NYCFC has faltered, going 0-1-2 in its last 3 interconference games. It has a better record now against the East than the West, which would be good, but one would prefer they did it by way of a strong winning streak against the East rather than the other way around.

This is a late update catching up (and false dated on the post date), and includes NYC’s games against SKC and Portland:

Red Bulls were a man up for 53 minutes and  managed only a point against a struggling Dallas team, but in the East/West standings a road tie is a good result.  Next week there are 6 interconference matches, five of them hosted by the East, and two of those at Yankee Stadium.
