MLS Pick ‘Em 2017 – Week 5<\/p>\n

This week’s matchups offer some really intriguing offerings. First, Atlanta will take on Seattle for their biggest test in the young MLS season. Atlanta has not faced an elite attacking side yet, and Seattle has a talented group to give them fits. With Clint Dempsey returning from national team duty, and Jordan Morris nursing an injury, Atlanta might be catching Seattle at the right time.<\/p>\n

Minnesota United is on track to have the worst season in MLS history. RSL may be struggling offensively, and Minnesota might be the the salve they need to get started.<\/p>\n

D.C. United is off to a rough start. Through four games, they have yet to score a goal. Philadelphia and D.C. are forming a nice little rivalry, and it will be good to see if either can earn their first win.<\/p>\n

Let’s see who the experts like in week 5:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
