**Nashville SC leads the Eastern Conference with 60 points from 27 matches and a +34 goal difference, while Vancouver Whitecaps top the West with 50 points from 26 games and a +33 differential.** These strong regular-season records, combined with Inter Miami’s attacking output despite a tighter points total around 46, explain why these three clubs dominate the MLS Cup 2026 market at 22.7%, 17.0%, and 16.5% respectively. Nashville’s recent form includes a 2-0 win over Toronto and a 3-0 result against Chicago, highlighted by Hany Mukhtar becoming the 16th player to reach 100 MLS career goals. Vancouver has maintained consistency with results such as a 3-0 victory at Real Salt Lake, even after a 3-3 draw with D.C. United. Inter Miami remains in contention through high-scoring games and contributions from Lionel Messi, though a 2-2 draw with Nashville and a late loss to Columbus Crew illustrate the fine margins. With roughly seven to ten regular-season matches left and a deep playoff field featuring strong mid-table sides like Philadelphia Union, FC Dallas, and San Jose Earthquakes, the bunched probabilities reflect uncertainty over final seeding, home-field advantage, and knockout outcomes in a league where late surges and upsets remain common.
