Darts

Crunch time in Premier League now. Mardle is ill so Part's playing twice tonight.

King -2.5 legs Evens
King has won 6 of his 9 matches so far, losing to Barney and Jenkins on one of his hot nights and drawing with the Power. He looked on top form last week destroying Wade. His wins have been 8-4 v Klaasen, 8-1 and 8-2 v Mardle, 8-1 and 8-3 v Wade, and 8-2 v Part. And Parts three losses have been 8-1, 8-2, 8-3. So King -2.5 legs at 10/11 is an absolute steal!!! I'd also have a touch on 8-2 and 8-1 at 10/1 and 25/1.

Jenkins -4.5 legs Evens
Jenkins is the definition in inconsistent, but he does tend to lift his game against the Power in the Premier League :
2007: Taylor 8-1 Jenkins, Taylor 8-6 Jenkins
2008: Jenkins 8-5 Taylor, Jenkins 7-7 Taylor
2009: Jenkins 7-7 Taylor
So unbeaten in 3, and the handicap tonight is 4.5 legs, which would only not have been covered in their first game in the Premier League. That is a no-brainer. And the draw at 7/1 has some appeal.

Barneveld 8-6 Wade 6/1
Barney was out of sorts when Wade beat him 8-4 earlier this season, with Wade coming back from 4-1 down. Last week though Wade looked out of sorts with his game and his mental approach - he needs to dump that slapper Chamberlain. Barney meanwhile was on fire in Glasgow and looked happy with himself and his game like he hasn't for a long time. Wade always scraps but I can't see him beating Barney tonight. Last year Barney beat him 8-6 twice. Try that again at 5/1.

Klaasen bt Part 6/4
Part plays twice as Mardle's ill and after a thrashing from Merv the last thing he'll want is to come out again against the improving Klaasen and his rapid fire delivery. He pushed Phil all the way and deserved a point last week, and beat Terry Jenkins the week before. He probably has to win every match now to qualify for the semi's but noone will fancy playing him between now and May. These two drew 7-7 in the previous meeting, but Klaasen is in better form now. Odds against is nice.
