MLS Week 18 power rankings: RSL drops to fourth after continued losses

Considering how the Western Conference was supposed to dominate Major League Soccer this year, the East has looked pretty good recently. New York and D.C. United are two of the top teams in the league right now, and Toronto is making a bid for comeback team of the year.

Not to be outdone, San Jose continues to win, coming from behind on a regular basis, and Los Angeles is climbing back up the table. The Galaxy will get another boost, with former MLS Defender of the Year Omar Gonzalez set to return from ACL rehabilitation this month. Most teams are at the midway point of their seasons, but how will these rankings look heading into the playoffs?
