Soccer Betting Lines

08/21/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Guillermo Barros Schelotto had a goal and an assist Saturday, leading the Columbus Crew to a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids at Crew Stadium.

Schelotto converted a penalty kick in the eighth minute for his sixth goal of the year, then set up the Crew's final goal off a free kick in the 80th. Jason Garey and Steven Lenhart scored Columbus' other goals.

Columbus (12-5-4) won for the ninth time in 11 home games, and pushed its lead in the Eastern Conference back to six points. Red Bull New York topped Toronto FC, 4-1, earlier Saturday to temporarily close within three points.

Colorado (7-6-7) got its lone goal from Pablo Mastroeni, as the Rapids slipped to 1-3-7 in their last 10 games.

Columbus got off to a perfect start when Eddie Gaven earned a penalty kick for a foul on Colorado goalie Matt Pickens inside 10 minutes. Schelotto drove the penalty inside the left post to give the Crew a quick lead.

Colorado equalized before half when Mastroeni took a pass from Mehdi Ballouchy and set up a right-footed shot from 14 yards that beat Crew goalie Will Hesmer to the bottom right in stoppage time.

Columbus regained the lead early in the second half when Garey latched onto a poor clearance from Colorado defender Marvell Wynne and hit a first-time shot past Pickens from 18 yards to the right post.

Lenhart capped the scoring 10 minutes from time in pouring rain. Schelotto played a free kick from the right to the far side of the box to Chad Marshall and he headed back across the goal to Lenhart. Lenhart just nodded home from a few yards out for his fifth goal of the season.

Columbus hosts FC Dallas in its next match on Aug. 28, when Colorado hosts the Houston Dynamo.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
