Dallas ties Colorado to extend unbeaten streaks

Soccer Betting Lines

07/31/2010 - Commerce City, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Julien Baudet's own goal helped FC Dallas extend its road and overall undefeated streaks to eight matches with a 1-1 tie Saturday against the Colorado Rapids at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.

Baudet deflected a cross from Dallas' Jair Benitez past teammate Matt Pickens, and Dallas (6-2-9) used the 22nd-minute mistake to remain unbeaten on the road since a 2-0 loss at Red Bull New York in mid-April.

FC Dallas has not lost in Major League Soccer since May 20, when it was beaten 1-0 by the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Colorado (6-5-6) has lost just once in eight home matches, but settled for its fourth draw. The Rapids are winless in seven, dating back to a 1-0 win on June 5 against the Columbus Crew.

Dallas created the opening goal when David Ferreira passed to Benitez down the left side. Benitez crossed into the area, but Baudet slid in and directed the ball inside the left post from close range in the 22nd minute.

Colorado was also lucky to get the equalizer, when Dallas' Atiba Harris played the ball with his hand in the area four minutes later.

Ballouchy fired the penalty kick past Kevin Hartman for his third goal of the season, and neither team managed to snap the deadlock through the remainder of regulation and stoppage time.

Ferreira forced a save by Pickens early in the second half for Dallas and Jeff Cunningham came off the bench and created the best chance in the 86th, only to be denied at the near post on a nice save from Pickens.

Kosuke Kimura and Drew Moor had shots on goal for Colorado in the second half, but Hartman saved both and finished with three saves.

Colorado hosts the San Jose Earthquakes in its next match Aug. 7. Dallas hosts the Philadelphia Union on Aug. 8.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
