I have no idea why LA would be the favorite. Yes, they have a great lineup, but they have muddled by and failed to really excel all year. They are 4th in the league in points per game, and on similar form - very good, but not great. They are 9 points in their last 6 games against a fairly easy portion of their schedule. Yes, they should be considered among the favorites, but certainly not at the top.
Not being critical, but did you watch MLS before last year? This shit is Galaxy playbook page 1. They have done it time after time.I have no idea why LA would be the favorite.
