Columbus earns draw at Houston

Soccer Betting Lines

07/10/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - William Hesmer posted his sixth shutout of the season as the Columbus Crew earned their sixth result in seven road games with a 0-0 tie Saturday against the Houston Dynamo at Robertson Stadium in MLS.

Columbus (8-2-4) has two wins and four ties on the road this year and remained in sole possession of first place in the Eastern Conference. Red Bull New York tied D.C. United, 0-0, on Saturday and remains two points back.

Houston (5-7-4) goalie Pat Onstad matched Hesmer to earn his fourth shutout of the year. The Dynamo, winless in six consecutive MLS games, dropped points at home for the fifth time this season.

Dynamo veteran Brian Ching missed an empty net inside 25 minutes, setting the tone for a lackluster game for both sides. Columbus' Adam Moffat and Houston's Lovel Palmer had the only shots on goal in the first half.

Columbus' Robbie Rogers had another rare shot on goal in the second half, and Cam Weaver fired inches wide on one of Houston's top chances in the second 45.

Crew forward Steven Lenhart had one final chance to break the deadlock, but he was denied by Mike Chabala, who slid in to deflect the shot just as it was off his foot.

Hesmer finished with just one save, while Onstad made two.

Columbus visits the Kansas City Wizards on Wednesday. Houston is off from MLS play until June 24 when it visits Columbus.

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.
