09/08/2010 - Bridgeview, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Fire and Toronto FC played to a 0-0 draw at Toyota Park on Wednesday, a result that does little to help the playoff chances of either team.
Chicago had the best chance of the match early in the second half when Freddie Ljungberg was played in behind the Toronto defense and left alone with just the goalkeeper to beat. However, he pushed his shot wide of the right post, leaving the Fire with just one win from its last six games.
Toronto has struggled away from home this season with just four points from its 10 previous away contests, so a point is not as bad of a result.
But it still leaves TFC five points back of Seattle for the final playoff spot in Major League Soccer.
The first half saw little in the way of action for either goalkeeper as Toronto's Stefan Frei made the lone save on a low 20-yard shot from Chicago's Collins John.
Toronto failed to produce a shot on goal in the first 45 minutes, but the Reds did have two decent appeals for handball inside the penalty area turned down.
The opening goal should have arrived three minutes into the second half as Nery Castillo played a through ball to Ljungberg, but he wasted the chance with Frei at his mercy.
The visitors tried to make Ljungberg pay for his miss as O'Brian White went close with a glancing header before a poor clearance by Chicago's Mike Banner handed White another chance which forced a save from goalkeeper Sean Johnson.
Chicago had one final opportunity to win the game as Castillo drew a free kick 25 yards from goal in the dying seconds, but he shot straight into the wall, failing to test Frei.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
