MLS: Pace After 3 Games

Now that the third round of games is over, I want to take a look at how teams have historically done for the year after starting the season a certain way. How do teams who get 9 points through three games compare to those who get none? I've taken a look at all 149 previous MLS seasons to produce this table:

After 3 Games Played


Times PPG 2009 Teams
9 pts 4 1.49 CHV, SEA
7 pts 19 1.63 CHI, NE
6 pts 23 1.42 COL
5 pts 10 1.41 DC
4 pts 35 1.38 TOR
3 pts 24 1.35 KC, SJ
2 pts 13 1.30 CLB
1 pt 13 1.14 HOU, NY
0 pts 8 1.27 DAL

The PPG refers to how the teams ended the season. RSL and LA have yet to play three games.

Did you calculate a standard deviation for the PPG?

No, I didn't. If I continue posting updates like this, I may have to do that next time.
