07/23/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Dynamo get back into Major League Soccer action on Saturday after a two week break when they travel to take on the Columbus Crew at Crew Stadium.
The Dynamo (5-7-4) played three SuperLiga matches during their break, going 2-0-1 while topping Mexican team's Pachuca and Pueblo to win their group.
"Overall, to come out on top of this group, I am pleased for the guys," Houston coach Dominic Kinnear told mlssoccer.com.
Now the Western Conference club sets its sights back on league play, traveling to play the Crew, which it played in its last MLS fixture as well, a scoreless draw on July 10.
"I think we're just inches away from pulling off something good here," Kinnear said after the game. "We are inching along, and we need to take some big steps now, but I do think we are on the verge of starting to do that."
The Crew (9-3-4) are coming off a top-of-the-table match with Red Bull New York that they dominated 2-0 to take a five point lead in the East.
"We found the goals," forward Guillermo Barros Schelotto told mlssoccer.com. "They didn't have opportunities to score. We controlled the game for 90 minutes."
The win snapped a two-game winless run in league play, so the first-placed Crew were happy to bounce back.
"We played one of the best games," Crew coach Robert Warzycha told mlssoccer.com. "The players responded very well. As a team we played very well."
The Crew will have to find a way to get a positive result at home without two key players, veteran defender Frankie Hejduk and midfielder Brian Carroll, who will miss the game because of suspension and injury, respectively.

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout
An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half.
Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off. Randy was not impressed though. Paula thought he started off fantastic. "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either.
Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed. Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact. He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition.
Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula. Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout.
Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next. Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential. Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell. He sang "Careless Whisper".
22 year old Chris Richardson was up next. He was listed with +1100 odds coming in. He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great.
Nick was boring and pitchy. Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week. Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition.
Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds . These of course were the early odds. He was considered original for picking an "odd song". He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night.
Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good.
Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds. Great voice and a great sense of humor. He's a real standout. Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit. Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig".
Jared Cotter followed. He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition. The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good.
22-year old AJ Talbado, who has tried out for American Idol five times, was up next. "Kind of a theme park performance" said Simon. Though the judges felt he performed okay. Simon did feel AJ might be better than he originally thought.
Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition. He was the last to perform. He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start.
Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys. Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.
