#12 – Houston Dynamo

Matches Played: 384

Wins: 146

Percentage: 38%

After 11 seasons in the MLS, the Dynamo have only posted two with under ten wins. While the last three years have not been kind to Houston, the franchise had a great run prior to that. The club started their expansion in 2006 with a MLS Cup and a repeat the next season over the Revolution yet again.

The six years that followed those MLS Cups saw the Dynamo win an average of 12 games each season and reach the Conference Finals five times. Back in 2013 and prior, Houston would have been a top ten (if not higher) club, but are beginning to fall behind the pace of MLS’ best.
