High Probably LAFC and Vancouver Will Play 3 Games Back to Back to Back with New MLS Postseason Format... with a Possibility of 4!

If Vancouver beats LAFC this weekend, RSL beats Colorado (likely), and Houston beats Portland (likely), then the first round of the playoffs will have LAFC playing Vancouver in a best of 3. That would be minimum of 3 games in a row between the two teams and a possibility for a 4th game.
I kind of hate it.
I didn't check Eastern Conference, but there is also a very very low likelihood of Houston and Portland playing 3-4 games in a row. That requires Seattle, Dallas, and San Jose all losing, LAFC losing, and Houston beating Portland by enough goals.
It happened, except with a draw from LAFC/Vancouver.
Also, Philly and New England will be playing 3 to 4 games in a row as well.
