What’s at stake

-

Postseason seeding: All eight Western Conference playoff invitation­s have been handed out. One went to LAFC, which can go into those playoffs seeded anywhere from fifth to eighth, depending on Sunday’s results. For the Galaxy, a loss to Vancouver in Portland could drop the team into the cellar for the second time in four years. In the Eastern Conference, five teams — Chicago, Montreal, D.C. United, Atlanta United and Inter Miami — are battling for the final two playoff berths.

Scoring race: LAFC’s Diego Rossi goes into the final game leading the league with 14 goals, three better than Columbus’ Gyasi Zardes, Seattle’s Raul Ruidiaz and Chicago’s Robert Beric. LAFC’s Carlos Vela was the MLS scoring leader last season and if Rossi wins this year it would be the first time players from the same team led MLS in goals in consecutiv­e seasons.

First-class coach: Dominic Kinnear, the Galaxy’s interim manager, enters Sunday with 170 career wins, tied with LAFC’s Bob Bradley for third place on the career leaderboar­d. More important, he is 4-2-2 in two stints as the team’s interim manager. Another win Sunday could improve his chances of getting the job permanentl­y.

Top of the class: Toronto and Philadelph­ia go into their final games with 13-4-5 records and equal shots at both the Supporters’ Shield, which goes to the team with the best regular-season record, and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. If Philadelph­ia wins the Shield, it would be the franchise’s first MLS trophy.
