Picks: Who Will Win The MLS Cup?
The top five in the outright betting and huge clashes in the semi-finals will be learned. However, with proven world-class players in the final third, the Vancouver Whitecaps have caught the eye.
The Caps added the experienced Thomas Müller to their squad mid-season, and the German has had an immediate impact. Furthermore, their chances are enhanced after dominating defensively throughout the season, conceding just 1.08 goals per game.
That strong defensive advantage could give them the upper hand in a potential MLS Cup final showdown against the Philadelphia Union.
