3. Record: 12-2-5
Week 20 ranking: 4
Bradley Wright-Phillips' 99th MLS goal helped the Red Bulls to a 2-0 home win over the Revolution. New York has lost only once at home in 2018, outscoring opponents 25-6 at Red Bull Arena.
4. LAFC
Record: 10-5-5
Week 20 ranking: 2
Bob Bradley's decision to rest a few key players might have been the right one long term, but it didn't work out against Minnesota on Sunday night. The 5-1 loss will be quickly forgotten on the way to a showdown with the Galaxy on Thursday night.
5. Record: 8-7-3
Week 20 ranking: 5
Not the best defensive performance for the Timbers at home against Montreal, and it took two Evan Bush gaffes to secure a point. The draw did, however, extend Portland's unbeaten streak to 13.
6. FC Dallas
Record: 11-6-3
Week 20 ranking: 6
FC Dallas had its chances on Saturday against Houston but couldn't take advantage in the first battle of the year for El Capitan. Roland Lamah's misses prevented FCD from getting the win.
7. LA Galaxy
Record: 9-4-7
Week 20 ranking: 7
It took a little while, but Sigi Schmid's team is now in a good stride with a run of five games unbeaten. A Zlatan Ibrahimovic goal, his 12th of the year, stole the show for the streaking Galaxy in Philadelphia.
8. Record: 7-6-6
Week 20 ranking: 8
On the one hand, the Dynamo have to be happy with a point against FC Dallas after conceding in the first minute and giving up several good chances. On the other, no draw against Dallas can feel satisfying for Houston.
9. Record: 9-6-5
Week 20 ranking: 9
No match on the weekend for a Sporting side still licking its wounds from a U.S. Open Cup loss on Wednesday.
10. Columbus Crew SC

11. Montreal Impact
Record: 9-1-12
Week 20 ranking: 10
Saphir Taider stayed hot in Portland, but the Impact will rue an opportunity lost in 2-2 draw -- remarkably their first tie of the season. Remi Garde will hope Evan Bush doesn't make a habit of his mistakes.
12. Record: 7-7-7
Week 20 ranking: 11
It was a bad week for New England, which lost in Minnesota and New Jersey over four days. The Revs are now in the throws of a three-game losing streak and in danger of fading out the playoff spots in the East.
13. Minnesota United
Record: 9-1-11
Week 20 ranking: 18
The Loons have themselves a three-game winning streak, with an emphatic 5-1 win over the second-place team in the West on Sunday night the latest in the run. United moved up to seventh place, just two points back of RSL for the last playoff spot.
14. Record: 5-5-9
Week 20 ranking: 15

15. Real Salt Lake
Record: 9-3-9
Week 20 ranking: 15
No Rocky Mountain Cup match is ever easy and the latest version was no exception. Without Mike Petke on the sideline due to suspension, and dealing with a long weather delay, RSL managed just a point against the Rapids despite holding a two-goal lead before the break.
16. Record: 7-5-9
Week 20 ranking: 14
There wasn't much good about the Caps' performance in Seattle. The lack of Alphonso Davies was conspicuous amid rumors the teenager will soon make a big-money move to Europe.
17. Record: 7-3-10
Week 20 ranking: 16
CJ Sapong's first goal since April was wasted on Saturday when the Union conceded three unanswered goals in a 3-1 home loss to the Galaxy. Philly now faces a tough trip to Houston on Wednesday.

Record: 5-4-11
Week 20 ranking: 21
Sebastian Giovinco showed his quality while Jozy Altidore and Victor Vazquez returned to the field in a massive 2-1 road win for the Reds over Chicago. The win was Toronto's first in its past seven games.

Record: 7-1-12
Week 20 ranking: 20

22. Colorado Rapids
Record: 4-5-11
Week 20 ranking: 22
