07/24/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Columbus Crew extended their lead atop Major League Soccer's Eastern table with a 3-0 win over the Houston Dynamo on Saturday night at Crew Stadium.
Edgar Renteria scored in the first half, and Andy Iro and Leandre Griffit added goals in the final 10 minutes to help the Crew (10-3-4) to their second straight league win and 10th of the season overall.
After the teams battled to a stalemate for the first half-hour, Renteria took advantage of a mistake by Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall, who was starting because of an abdomen injury to veteran Pat Onstad.
Hall, who was making just his second MLS start, misplayed a long ball at the top of the Houston penalty area and fell to the turf, allowing Renteria to scoop up the loose ball and walk into the net for his fourth goal of the season in the 34th minute.
The Dynamo's chances of coming back took a hit late in the second half when central defender Bobby Boswell picked up his second yellow for a hard foul on Renteria, forcing his team to play a man down the rest of the way.
The Crew capitalized in the 84th minute when Iro deflected a Guillermo Barros Schelotto free kick past Hall for his third goal of the season.
Late substitute Griffit collected a Schelotto rebound in the area and slotted home his first MLS goal to make it 3-0 in the closing seconds.
The Dynamo (5-8-4), who are now winless in their last seven MLS fixtures, will try to earn the full points when they host Red Bull New York next Saturday, while the Crew travel to take on Chivas USA later the same night in their next MLS fixture.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
