11/03/2007 - Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The West's top seed, Chivas USA, is in a similar position to the East's top seed, D.C. United, heading into the second leg of its conference semifinal series.
Chivas, like United, trails after the away leg of the home-and-home total goals series after its top two strikers missed the first leg with injuries.
Unlike United, which earned a 2-2 draw with Chicago Thursday in it's second leg to lose it's series 3-2, the Goats still have a chance at advancing if things go their way Saturday night at The Home Depot Center.
Also unlike United, which got its main attackers, Luciano Emilio and Jaime Moreno, back for the second leg, Chivas USA will probably be without both of its main men - Ante Razov and Maykel Galindo - again.
"He's making progress, but not this weekend for sure," Chivas USA coach Preki said about the prospects of Razov playing with his a knee injury.
Galindo, who probably will need sports hernia surgery when the season is over, will be a game-time decision.
"It just got to the point where it got to be a chronic pain," Galindo said. "After the Houston game (in the regular season finale), I was in great pain afterward. That's why I wasn't able to play at all last week. Hopefully with some rest this week and some treatment I'll be able to play on Saturday."
Missing those two players while playing catchup in the series will be tough considering they scored 23 the club's conference-leading 46 goals.
But the Goats have been nearly perfect at home this season, going 10-1-4 while outscoring opponents by 20 goals, meaning even without its biggest guns, it has a chance at hunting down the Wizards.
Currently, Davy Arnaud's 35th minute goal in the first leg is the difference in the series.
Kansas City is confident, coming off back-to-back shutouts with a defense that has been suspect for most of the season.
"We were talking throughout the course of the year about how many goals we were leaking," the Wizards' Kerry Zavagnin said after the first leg win. "We really showed tonight that we have the capability to shut teams out, and we've known that for a while."
Despite the resurgent defense, the Wizards don't plan on packing it in and hoping to escape with a scoreless draw to advance, however.
"We're not going to sit back and just defend," K.C. coach Curt Onalfo said. "We're going to try and take the game to them, and see if we can't get an early goal and move on from there."
The winner of Saturday night's contest will face Houston in the Western Final on Nov. 10. If Chivas USA wins, it will host while the Wizards will travel to Houston if they advance.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
