Apologies on the false narrative, but you grabbed only a small amount of info to support your post. They have 2games on Montreal, but Montreal still has the points, so there are three teams legitimately ahead of Toronto occupying two possible spots.
And I was going to post about Toronto’s murderers row of a schedule until I saw
mgarbowski beat me to it. That schedule alone is enough reason to count them out - they have far too many matches against the three best teams in the east and a few against the better teams in the West. And Mark was slightly wrong, they do have one more match against NE who plays very well on turf. Also grouped into their schedule are matches for the Canada cup and some other competition, Campeones Cup, vs a Mexican team, Tigres.
I think they have their work cut out for them even if they play at their 2017 level.
