MLS is still in the early stages of the 2023 season; however, the matches have been very competitive. Teams have shown an emphasis on the defensive side as there have been fewer goals scored this year through six weeks than there were in previous seasons. Are we on the verge of seeing a more closely contested season in both the eastern and western conferences?
