Remaining schedules as eight MLS sides vie for six playoff spots

Major League Soccer will see every team finally level on games played after next week’s trio of midweek matches. MLS takes a week off following those matches, with two weekends worth of top-flight matches culminating in 10 4 p.m. ET kickoffs on Oct. 23. Below is a breakdown of remaining matches for the teams who have neither clinched a playoff spot nor been eliminated from postseason contention. We’ve included Columbus and San Jose despite the extreme unlikelihood that either would make a fateful run to the playoffs. Oct. 8 has Colorado at Houston, Oct. 12 sees Houston at Seattle, while Oct. 13’s docket has Columbus at Chicago and San Jose at Colorado. Eastern Conference 4. Montreal (44 points)
