More on Away results, because I think they are enormously important.
Half of the last 10 MLS Cup winners finished top 5 in the league for Away points.
When NYC finished top third in the league for Away points they finished 2,2,1,5, and 3 in the Table (5 was 2020 Covid year).
When NYC finished middle third for Away points they finished 3 and 4 in the Table.
When NYC finished bottom third for Away points they finished 10 and 11 in the Table.
Nobody in MLS is really good Away, but land of the blind, one-eye, and all that. Many teams dominate at home every year. Roughly 1/3 get 2.0 PPG at home or more, and about half get 1.8 PPG at home. You separate yourself with Away points.
