Kansas City holds on for draw at Colorado

Soccer Betting Lines

07/17/2010 - Commerce City, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Davy Arnaud scored in the 20th minute and the Kansas City Wizards held on for a 1-1 draw against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.

Kansas City earned its first road win in Major League Soccer on Wednesday, and Arnaud helped the Wizards (4-8-4) earn their second straight road result with his second goal of the season.

Conor Casey scored in the 74th for Colorado (6-4-5) and hit the post with just one minute remaining in normal time. The Rapids are winless in five straight.

Arnaud opened the scoring off an assist from Craig Rocastle, who put the K.C. captain through for a one-on-one chance against Colorado goalie Matt Pickens. Arnaud dribbled in alone and fired inside the right post from 12 yards.

Kei Kamara and Arnaud had back-to-back chances denied by Pickens late in the first half, then Teal Bunbury - who scored the lone goal on Wednesday in a 1-0 win at Columbus - hit a shot that bounced off the right post and then the left post and out.

Colorado finally showed life in the second half, and Casey responded with his seventh goal of the year to tie the game. Jamie Smith played the ball to Casey and Casey cut back to lose a defender and then slipped a shot past K.C. goalie Jimmy Nielsen.

Casey broke into the area alone in the 89th and rounded Nielsen but, with the net empty, hit the left post as the Rapids settled for a draw for the fourth time in their last five matches.

Colorado will try to end its winless run July 25 when it visits Seattle, while Kansas City returns home to host Toronto FC on July 31.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
