Weekly Picks May 19-20

A week after correctly guessing the scores of both the Chivas USA and Galaxy games, my mettle will be tested as they play each other.

Over the years, though, the only thing difficult about picking this game has been the final score. When it comes to rivalries, the saying goes that you can throw the records out the window. With this "clasico" you can throw everything out the window, bet money on the Galaxy and expect some sort of return on your gamble.

No matter how the teams look entering their games against each other, until Chivas USA wins a couple games and makes this a real rivalry, I'm going to pick the Galaxy to win.
