05/14/2010 - Columbus, Ohio (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Columbus is one of just two undefeated teams remaining in MLS but, like the unbeaten Los Angeles Galaxy, the Crew are about to face a spell without some of their top players.
Columbus defender Chad Marshall and midfielder Robbie Rogers were selected for the United States' pre-World Cup training camp and, if they earn a spot on the final 23-man roster, would miss at least five MLS games.
The Crew, who have three wins and two ties, host Chivas USA on Saturday in the last game before the U.S. players start training in Princeton, N.J.
While L.A. star Donovan is a lock to remain with the U.S. through June's World Cup, Marshall and Rogers are fringe players hoping for a coveted roster spot.
Regardless of whether the Columbus duo makes the final cut, they will miss MLS games in late May against New York, Kansas City, Los Angeles. If they make the cut, Marshall and Rogers will miss June matches against San Jose and Colorado.
Depending on how well the U.S. does in South Africa, Columbus and other squads could be without players even after the league goes on break in mid-June.
Columbus has three more matches scheduled before the end of the World Cup, but that would require the U.S. to make a run in the knockout stage.
With the uncertainty of the next few weeks, Columbus needs to continue its hot start against Chivas, which loses defender Jonathan Bornstein and midfielder Sacha Kljestan to U.S. camp after this weekend's match at Crew Stadium.
"They've really got to have a sharp camp because they are probably two bubble guys," Columbus defender and World Cup veteran Frankie Hejduk said about his teammates. "I think (both) can help the team do well in South Africa."
First, both have to focus on getting Columbus three points before they join up with the U.S.
"It's still important that I work hard with my team here in Columbus and get better," Rogers said on the league's website. "I have a lot to prove."
Columbus has three wins in as many games at home, while Chivas has a win and a draw in four road matches.
Bornstein and Kljestan are more likely to make the last U.S. World Cup roster, making their last appearances for Chivas before the tournament just as huge.
Chivas has only three games before the World Cup but, with four losses in its first eight matches, needs to get as many points as possible as well.
"We hope to go to Columbus and bring back three points. I think we have a good chance against Columbus," Mariano Trujillo said on the league's website.

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.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
