The Galaxy are tied with the Seattle Sounders for the most points in MLS Cup Standings, but are they a threat? No. The Galaxy already blanked them 4-0 in their last meeting, asserting dominance over a highly regarded Sounders team; Seattle is also their main competition, and it’s comforting to know that the Galaxy have the upper hand in this matchup should the playoffs come down to it.
