There's a little over a month left in the regular season, meaning teams are ready to start clinching Audi MLS Cup Playoff berths.
The two teams with the best shot to do so this weekend are FC Dallas and Toronto FC. Each can clinch a berth with a win as Dallas travels to face New York City FC (7 pm ET; MLS LIVE) and Toronto takes on the New York Red Bulls (5 pm ET; FOX, FOX Sports GO in US | TSN2 in Canada).
Both New York teams can clinch playoff berths with wins themselves, but they would need some help to get the job done.
