Only 6 #MLR matches finished within 7pts in #MLR2026.

On average, 2026 winning margins (17.2) were far above all-time (11.5) but the #ChicagoHounds dominance is definitely a factor. 22pt average winning margin it nuts!

#MLRStats #MLR2027

The Average Winning Margin in #MLR2026 was the highest in #MLR history!

Victorious sides won by 17.2pts on average, with only 20% of games ending within 1 score.

If the undefeated #ChicagoHounds are excluded, the average margin drops to 14.5pts, 3rd highest all time!

2018 & 2026 are #MLR's 'smallest' full seasons in terms of games and teams but 2020, which saw 30 games played before it was cancelled, bucks this trend.

Does a shorter season lead to higher scoring? Did RRS' implementation contribute to higher scoring in #MLR2026?

#MLRStats
