RSL inches closer to MLS record with 2-0 win vs. Crew

Soccer Betting Lines

08/14/2010 - Sandy, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Real Salt Lake extended its home unbeaten run to 21 games with a 2-0 win over the Columbus Crew at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday night.

The MLS record is 22 games set by the 2008-09 Crew.

RSL's midfield maestro Javier Morales scored both goals to lead his team to its 11th victory of the season, good for No. 2 in MLS.

RSL went up 1-0 just 11 minutes in when Morales collected a short corner kick played back to him by striker Fabian Espindola on the left side, drove to the top corner of the Columbus 18-yard box and fired a sublime shot off the far post and in, past Crew goalkeeper Will Hesmer.

RSL had a chance to go up two in the 37th minute, but striker Robbie Findley missed a wide open net with Hesmer down and out at the top of the 18. Findley only had a defender to play a shot past, but instead his missed the goal wide right with a dreadful effort.

The Crew almost made the home side pay for the miss a minute later when Steven Lenhart got a tricky header on goal, but goalkeeper Nick Rimando stretched to his right to knock the ball out of danger.

Morales gave RSL the insurance it needed at the hour mark when he fired a free kick through the defensive wall and in for his sixth goal of the season.

The Crew (11-5-4) host Colorado on Saturday in their next league match, while RSL (11-4-6) travels to Toronto for its next MLS match on Aug. 28.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).

Be sure to log onto online sports betting site MySportsbook.com to check out the odds for who will lead the MLB in home runs this season. Below is just a sample of the players listed. With the highest credit card rates in the industry, MySportsbook.com is the place to bet on baseball this summer.
