Team Record Pts.
1) San Jose 5-1-1 16
2) Real Salt Lake 5-3-0 15
3) Vancouver 3-2-2 11

Chivas is ranked above the Rapids because of a better goal differential and a better W-L record in their last 5, 3-2 to Colorado's 1-4. A direct victory over Chivas would change that, and the Rapids have a chance at just that Saturday, April 28th at 9:00 pm EST. The two teams last met in August of last year, settling for a 2-2 tie.
