Bingo. NYCFC has a ton of road games over the next month and a half. Something like six of seven in June/July are at home. If they keep this lead over the next month and a half they could really open it up and not leave it to the final weeks.
And we also have a very weak final 6 matches to either make up points or extend the lead. Our schedule is actually quite beneficial for us. 8pts off of 4 away matches (2 being on turf) is quite good.
Atlanta has a 5 of 6 Away stretch in late August and all of September. So their schedule will be in a favorable (for them) H/A imbalance all summer. They also finish in Toronto.
