09/03/2010 - Commerce City, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Colorado Rapids will continue their playoff push on Saturday when they host Western Conference cellar-dwellars, Chivas USA at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Colorado enters the weekend in fifth place in the Western Conference table, but they are seventh overall in Major League Soccer, which would be good enough to help the team qualify for the playoffs.
The Rapids have won only two of their last 11 games, but they are hoping that they can record a second successive win on Saturday after beating the Houston Dynamo, 3-0.
With regular starting goalkeeper Matt Pickens out because of back spasms, Ian Joyce made his first career MLS start and kept a clean sheet, and he felt that it was the mental approach of the team that was a big reason for the good result.
"I think the hard work and the determination shown by the team tonight came through in the end," Joyce told mlssoccer.com. "From start to finish, we really had the right attitude going into this game. We are in a playoff push now and we really approached this game with the right mentality and we came through in the end."
Colorado will hope to carry some of the momentum from the Houston game into Saturday's match, but Rapids midfielder Pablo Mastroeni knows that just because Chivas sits on the bottom of the table, they cannot be taken lightly.
"Any team, regardless of your standing in the table, can beat any team on any given day," Mastroeni told MLSsoccer.com. "What we have come away with from this season is to have utmost respect for every team that we play and find a way to impose ourselves on the opposing team early in the game."
Chivas was able to record its sixth win of the season in league play as they beat Eastern Conference bottom-feeders D.C. United, 1-0, last time out.
However, the Goats suffered a setback in midweek as they fell 3-1 to Seattle Sounders FC in the semifinals of the U.S. Open Cup.
Chivas striker Justin Braun called the semifinal match the biggest game in club history prior to kickoff, so Braun and the rest of his teammates must now pull themselves back together and try for a second successive win.
The visitors will be without Osael Romero (El Salvador), Bryan de la Fuente and Cesar Zamora (both US Under-20 National Team) because of international duty, while Colorado is waiting to see how the back of Pickens responds while also keeping an eye on a hamstring problem that could keep defender Marvell Wynne out.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
