Seattle Sounders FC and Real Salt Lake are looking to wrap up their playoff spots this weekend. 58 LA Galaxy * 51 Seattle Sounders FC 48 Real Salt Lake 46 FC Dallas 41 Colorado Rapids 41 Columbus Crew 40 Sporting Kansas City 39 Philadelphia Union 39 Houston Dynamo 36 New York Red Bulls ————————————— 36 Portland Timbers 34 D.C.

Portland Timbers @ New York Red Bulls

Red Bull Arena

The teams are currently even on points with 36 which has New York in the last wildcard playoff spot and the Timbers on the outside looking in.  My prediction is a 2-1 victory for the visitors which will leave NYRB on the outside.  What is your prediction?
