Galaxy look to stifle surging Wizards

Soccer Betting Lines

08/27/2010 - Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Galaxy host the Kansas City Wizards in a Major League Soccer fixture at The Home Depot Center on Saturday night.

The Galaxy (13-4-4) still sit atop the league with 43 points, but have struggled recently, going 1-2-1 in their last four.

The team jumped out to a big lead at the beginning of the season, but has been coming back to earth recently, with the Eastern leading Columbus Crew only three points back.

"We've just got to tighten up the screws, I guess," L.A. forward Edson Buddle told mlssoccer.com. "We have some time to get things right before the playoffs."

The Galaxy will have that opportunity, with six of their last nine league fixtures at home.

"Time is now for us to start establishing The Home Depot Center as a place where no team wants to come and play," Galaxy veteran Chris Klein told mlssoccer.com.

The Wizards (6-9-5) are in the opposite situation. They started the season very slowly, but are on a tear as of late, going 3-1-2 in their last six.

The team is coming off a 4-1 thumping of the New England Revolution in its last league fixture, and hopes to build off it on the road on Saturday.

"This is good for a number of reasons," Kansas City coach Peter Vermes said after the win. "It puts us three points closer to a playoff spot. It also gets us back into the dance. We're pushing the envelope a little bit. Like I said, performances are one thing, and results are another. We've had a lot of good performances as of late, if you look at our last six games. It's all about us finishing our chances."

The Wizards will be without midfielder Zoltan Hercegfalvi, while the Galaxy will be without midfielder David Beckham, both because of injuries. Galaxy defenders Todd Dunivant and Gregg Berhalter are also listed as questionable on the team's injury report.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
