Pro Soccer Power Ratings
Last updated: Monday, March 13, 2023 - thru games of March 12
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!
