Pro Soccer Power Ratings


    
Last update:  Monday, December 2, 2024 - thru games of November 30


Welcome to my MLS power ratings!  I will be updating this page on Mondays during
the season.  To determine the approximate point spread for a game, simply take
the difference between the power ratings of the two teams in question and add
0.5 goal for the home team.  These ratings are based on a mathematical formula 
involving several factors, including won-lost record, schedule strength, and
margin of victory in games.   More recent games are taken with slightly more 
consideration than games played earlier in the season.  Enjoy!
