Darts and Baseball

Quiet sporting day but some cracking darts action tonight with the semi's of the World Matchplay.

7.00 Priestley+7.5 vs Taylor 11/10 (LOST +20.81 - 17-8 was the final score. At 15-8 it looked like we'd sneak in but the Power drove home his 105.6 average and won 17-8)
The semi-finals are best of 33, so for this to come in Dennis needs to get 10 legs, and Dennis has won every match by just the minimum necessary 2 legs, while The Power has been blasting opponents away. However, Priestley's winning margins show the tenacity of the Yorkshireman and he wont give up against his old rival tonight until the last double is hit. And The Power wasnt quite up to his own high standards last night - his 3-dart average dipping below 100 for the first time this week, down to a human-like 95. Dennis will take advantage of any slip-ups by the World Number 1, and I fancy he could push Phil closer than the bookies think.

12.05 LA Angels bt Baltimore 10/13 (WON 6-5 +21.58 - 3 runs in the 7th innings almost brought the Orioles back into the game at 5-4 but the Angels saw it home)
This should be a gimme. LA top the West Division of the American League with a 61.4% win ratio and 80% of their last 10. Baltimore made it 3 losses in a row with a 7-1 defeat at home to a Blue Jays side who were less than 50% before last night. The Orioles are 3 from 10 in recent form. So while 10/13 might not be your favourite price, it looks one to take advantage of.
