Real Salt Lake currently sit in third place in the Western Conference, though they’re tied on points with LA. They’ve played more matches and have a significantly worse goal differential than the Galaxy, but they have the lucky tiebreaker win to give them the edge. Salt Lake is in a nervy position with LA, who will likely blow past them by season’s end, pushing them down to at least fourth. On the road, RSL is 4-7-2; in Toronto they went for the draw, but they shouldn’t do the same thing in Seattle with every point starting to be critical even for the clubs in “safe” positions.
