A winning record for the East in May, but that’s deceptive because the H/A advantage should have yielded more wins.
One bright spot for the East is that Cincinnati played 9 of its 12 interconference games through June. Take the Cincinnati games out of the totals above and the East record is 29-29-15. I’m not saying the Cincinnati games should not count but with most of them out of the way, it might be reasonable to expect that the East record improves going forward. Going into July CFC had only 3 IC games left, and they won the first of those last week already. So they only have 2 IC games left, Home to Vancouver and Away to Dallas.
NYCFC has 7 IC games left, and the five they played (record 2-1-2) were against the top 4 teams in the West table, plus a Portland team whose record is misleading due to a ridiculous imbalance between Home and Away games to date. It is not inconceivable for NYC to feast on the bottom half of the West for the rest of the year.
