The LA Galaxy are very much still alive in the playoff race in the Western Conference, but they need to pick up a win on Monday, when they face the Seattle Sounders at Lumen Field, to give themselves the best shot for making the postseason.
LA last played last midweek, falling 2-0 to Sporting Kansas City to cut their cushion in the standings to virtually nothing. They are in the last playoff place, just a point ahead of the closest team below them, Real Salt Lake, who also have a game in hand after the Galaxy play this one against the Sounders.
