I have no justification for this pick. It's a silly, random selection that makes no sense. The Galaxy haven't been a real contender since 2014 and are unable to make summer signings due to a cheating scandal.

Yet, there's something about this group to me. The midfield trio is so good, and the striker partnership is one of the best in the league. I have a ton of faith in Greg Vanney to finally put all the pieces together and get the biggest club in MLS back to the summit.

For whatever reason, I can just picture a Galaxy-Red Bull final this year. If that happens, just rememebr you heard it here first.
