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.
