08/21/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brian Ching scored a hat trick and the Houston Dynamo edged the Chicago Fire in a seven-goal thriller Saturday night, 4-3, at Robertson Stadium to snap a 10-game winless skid in Major League Soccer.
Ching scored once in the first half and added two more in the second half, one on a bicycle kick, as the teams combined for six second-half goals.
Houston (6-10-5) won for the first time since May 22 when it beat D.C. United. The Dynamo had six losses and four draws during their winless streak. Lovell Palmer also scored, and Richard Mulrooney played a part in all four goals.
Calen Carr and Wilman Conde scored for Chicago (6-6-6), which also got an own goal from Bobby Bowell. Freddie Ljungberg had both assists for Chicago.
Houston opened the scoring in the 31st minute when Chicago goalie Sean Johnson dropped a corner kick from Mulrooney and Ching fired into an empty net for his fourth goal of the year.
Palmer doubled Houston's lead five minutes into the second half off an assist from Mulrooney. Palmer took the pass and slotted to the bottom right for his second goal of the season.
Chicago responded in the 55th when Ljungberg set up Carr, who scored the game- winner Wednesday night in a 2-1 win over New England, and he slipped the ball past Houston goalie Pat Onstad.
Ching pushed Houston's edge back to two goals just a few minutes later, as he found a loose ball off another Mulrooney corner and used a bicycle kick at the edge of the six-yard box to beat Johnson in the 59th.
Chicago cut the deficit in half in the 70th when Boswell and Chicago's Patrick Nyarko were battling for a ball at the edge of the area and it bounced off the Dynamo defender and rolled inside the right post.
Wilman Conde added his first goal of the season in the 81st off an assist from Ljungberg, as the Fire erased the two-goal deficit.
Ching made sure Houston's winless run wouldn't continue, as he got on the end of another corner from Mulrooney and headed inside the right post from about six yards out for his sixth of the season.
Houston hosts the Colorado Rapids in its next game Aug. 28, when Chicago hopes to rebound at Ljungberg's former team, Seattle Sounders FC.

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.
