DC United, New England Revolution, Chivas USA and defending champions Houston Dynamo have all claimed their playoff spots.
As the table stands right now the wildcards would be FC Dallas, New York Red Bulls, Kansas City Wizards and the Chicago Fire.
The Columbus Crew are only 1 point behind the Chicago Fire for the last spot, and behind them are the Colorado Rapids who are only 3 points back from the Fire. This is what the remaining schedule look like for these teams that will be battling for that last spot in the playoffs:
Chicago Fire:
@ Chivas USA
New England Revolution
@ DC United
LA Galaxy
Columbus Crew:
LA Galaxy
FC Dallas
@ New England Revolution
@ DC United
Colorado Rapids:
@ New England Revolution
Toronto FC
@ Chivas USA
Real Salt Lake
The Rapids might have the easiest schedule remaining, but the Fire have been the best team lately. I think this could come down to the last day of the season which has the Fire playing on their home turf with LA Galaxy visiting. The Crew are playing in DC on that day. Advantage goes to the Fire here, so they are my pick to make the playoffs out of these 3 teams. Who knows something crazy could happen and the Wizards could give up their spot to another one of these teams, but I wouldn’t count on that.
