MLS Pick ‘Em 2015: Week 2 – POR v. LAG
Last week was a blood bath. Ned Joyce gave all of us a run for our money with the only correct pick last week. Now he’s leading the pack with 3 points. Here’s how the standings look:
- Ned Joyce – 3pts
- Everyone Else – 0pts
This week, the Galaxy travel to Portland to take on the Timbers. The Galaxy are coming off of a comfortable home win against the Fire in Week 1. Portland are trying to find their first win after a tough draw against RSL in which Nick Rimando stood on his head the keep the Timbers off the board. Here’s how our “experts” see this one playing out.
| Expert | Pick | Comments |
| Joseph GoldsteinAnalyst@LastWord_JG |  POR (2-1) |
LAG didn’t impress me in week 1. Got the result against a poor Chicago team, a much better Timbers will give them a run for their money. |
| Eric WalcottStaff Writer@ericwalcott | Draw (1-1) | Timbers much improved defense will frustrate LA but key injuries for Portland will turn this into a defensive battle. |
| Alec RiveraDepartment Head@LWOSAlec | POR (3-1) |
Portland recover from unlucky opener, while a less-than-impressive LA are exposed.. #Nagbe4MVP |
| Jeff KrauseEditor@DFBJeff | Draw (1-1) | Playing at Providence is a tall task for even the best teams in MLS. Robbie Keane may flip off America, but it’ll be due to his own frustration, not outside forces. |
| Russ McKenzieDepartment Head@Russ_McKenzie | Draw (1-1) | Whereas the Fire were little more than a speed bump for LA, Portland will be more of a challenge. I see more terrible finishing from the Galaxy |
| John RichanStaff Writer@John_Richan |  LAG (3-0) |
No Goals from Portland last weekend. LAG continues to be an offensive Juggernaut in MLS. Things remain pat on Sunday. |
| Michael NortonEditor@MichaelNorton95 | LAG (1-0) |
Last week Portland got Rimando’d. This week they may face another stellar goalkeeper in Jaime Penedo. Robbie Keane will play the set-up man this week, as Gyasi Zardes opens his 2015 account. |
| Ned JoyceContributor@nedjoyce | LAG (2-1) |
Portland defense plays strong again, Portland takes a lead but LAG storms back |
