4. D.C. United (5-3-8): Looked bad in a 3-1 trouncing at Colorado over the weekend.

Game of the week

Colorado at Seattle

Rapids are 3-0-4 since an April 19 loss at Houston, and though they sit in fourth place in the West with 20 points they've played two fewer games than everyone else. A win at a Seattle team with seven ties in its past nine matches would be a huge boost for Colorado.
