Analyzing the LA Galaxy’s 2018 playoff chances
After a helter-skelter weekend of Major League Soccer action in which seemingly every result went against the LA Galaxy, the newly minted Western Conference standings show the full scope of the challenge Sigi Schmid’s side are facing.
Above the red line by the slimmest of margins, the Galaxy have seven games to pick up as many points as possible. Several of LA’s rivals have games in hand and are peaking in form. Real Salt Lake obliterated Colorado 6-0 in the Rocky Mountain Cup while the Seattle Sounders squeaked by the Timbers to win a franchise-record seventh consecutive match.
