Houston heads across the county to take on L.A.

Soccer Betting Lines

06/04/2010 - Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Three days after suffering a heart wrenching last-second loss to Red Bull New York in Harrison, NJ, the Houston Dynamo travel across the country to take on the undefeated Los Angeles Galaxy at The Home Depot Center on Saturday night.

"It's Wednesday, we just lost a tough game here," Houston coach Dominic Kinnear said after Juan Pablo Angel scored on a 30-yard free kick in second-half stoppage time to hand the Dynamo a 2-1 defeat at New York. "I think we'll let this one sink in, and then we'll start thinking about Los Angeles. The next game after something like this is important."

The loss was the second straight for Houston, which is under .500 at 5-6-1 this season. It was also the second-straight loss in which Houston has given up a late winner.

"Just a lack of concentration, a lack of confidence, I think," Houston forward Brian Ching said of the recent trend. "I think as a team we're kind of unsure about ourselves right now, and you saw that at the end of the game. I think two years ago, we close that game out pretty easily. You look at the way this year is going, we're making mistakes because of a lack of confidence. I think after we scored our goal, we took our foot off the gas and were unsure. They're the home team and they took it to us. Disappointing, extremely. But hats off to Juan Pablo [Angel] for putting a great ball into the back of the net."

Things don't get any easier on Saturday, with Los Angeles (9-0-2) aiming to keep its record unblemished.

The Galaxy are coming off a 2-0 victory at Columbus last weekend, getting the result even though they were outplayed.

"When you have an advantage on the road and the other team doesn't score you have a chance to win," L.A. coach Bruce Arena said after the win. "At the end of the day that's what it's about. We came here to win. The only thing we were worried about was the score. We didn't concern ourselves a whole lot at the end of the game with who had the most corner kicks or shots or fouls or all that other stuff. ... I'll take the three points and I'm out of town. I'm not going to worry about all that other stuff."

L.A. has played the last couple games without leading scorers Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle, who are with the U.S. World Cup team, and will have to find a way to get by without them for at least the next two games.

"Our roster is a little weakened; our roster is not as strong as it will be during the year," Arena said.

The Galaxy could also be without forward Alan Gordon, midfielder Dema Kovalenko and defender Leonardo, who are all listed as questionable on the club's injury report.

The Dynamo will be without midfielder Geoff Cameron, while defender Mike Chabala is doubtful and defender Eddie Robinson is questionable, all with injuries.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.

MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
