Wherein Our Heroes channel their deepest foresight to deliver their picks for the MLS Eastern and Western Conference champions. Toronto and Vancouver appear to be on the right track, with Montreal lacking depth after having been bitten hard by pre-season injuries. Atlanta and the Cascadia clubs look to impress once again.
