14 April 2024
21:45 US Masters
Austin Eckroat
25 EW
@251.00
Lose
-50
Austin Eckroat is a winner on tour this year and done so at a tough track at the Cognizant and while it's his first time around here he did show his major pedigree when finishing T10 in his professional major debut last yeat at the US Open.
Luke List
25 EW
@351.00
Lose
-50
Putting is what has tradionally held Luke List back but it has slightly improved this year and his ball striking is arguably in the top handful on tour so while he may be low on win equity I make him a great value shot to tee to green his way to the first page of the leaderboard this week and getting 70/1 on him placing is generous.
Taylor Moore
25 EW
@251.00
Lose
-50
Taylor Moore had a good ebut year here last year finishing T39 and will come in with that knowledge now in the bank and his game has been trending hot in the lead up with his last three finishes being a T31 followed by a T12 and in his most recent start a T2 in Texas.
Brooks Koepka
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@26.00
Lose
-50
Brooks Koepka has rarely arrived here in full fitness but he does this year and the last two times he did so he carded opening rounds of 66 in 2019 and a 65 to open his account last year.
Jon Rahm
1st Round Leader
50 WIN
@21.00
Lose
-50
Jon Rahm comes in as the defending champion and his win last year was built on an opening round of 65 and he was tough to chase down from there. i think he comes in with a point to prove that he is still the man to beat this week and gets off to a flying start yet again.
Jordan Spieth
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@26.00
Lose
-50
Jordan Spieth has history for going low in opening rounds at Augusta having previously opened with a 64 and has also twice done so with rounds of 66, his boom or bust style lends itself to high variance making him a great FRL option.
Sam Burns
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@51.00
Lose
-50
Sam Burns has shot in the 60's in 5 of his 8 opening rounds to this point in 2024 and had an opening round of 68 here last year, rooming with Scheffler is bound to have picked up more course knowledge too.
Xander Schauffele
1st Round Leader
25 EW
@26.00
Lose
-50
Xander Schauffele is averaging opneing round scores of 68.4 across his last 7 major starts including a 68 here last year and as is known how he starts tournaments has not been the issue for the impressively consistent grinder.
20:15 US Masters
Jon Rahm
50 WIN
@13.00
Lose
-50
A course where taking advantage of par 5's as the key to success could not be better suited to Jon Rahm and his record ehre shows that with not only the win last year bul multiple finishes inside the top 10 to add and he likes playing with a chip on his shoulder and is almost coming in as an under the radar defending champion after his move to LIV, Back to back for the fiery Spaniard.
Ryo Hisatsune
25 EW
@401.00
Lose
-50
Ryo Hisatsune is a live shot for a spot deep on the leaderboard this week in my eyes, even making his major debut his ball striking is going to be very well suited to this course and he will no doubt have great inspiration from fellow Japanese green jacket winner Matsuyama. Has won on tough courses like Le Golf National so his game can travel.
15:30 Cameron Menzies vs Ross Smith
Cameron Menzies
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.62
Lose
-50
Very little between these two going on form so far this year, Ross Smith is averaging 95.52 for the year while Menzies is right there with him at 95.26 and his on stage antics mean he is constantly overlooked for his ability. Ross Smith was let off the hook yesterday when trailing 5-2 to O'Connor who should have out him away and if performing at anything close to the same level I think Menzies will do just that.
14:30 Rob Cross vs Ritchie Edhouse
Ritchie Edhouse
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@4.33
Win
166
Ritchie Edhouse continued his good form yesterday when averaging 100.53 in beating Michael Smith to make ot now a run of 10 wins from his last 11 matches played and still looks to be being disrespected here by the odds makers. he was over 50% on his finishing too yesterday and could have wrapped it up earlier as he missed the double on two or three big 3 dart finishes.
Ritchie Edhouse 2.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@1.80
Win
40
Taking Ritchie Edhouse +2.5 legs here as Rob Cross was visibly struggling with the heat on stage yesterday only just scraping past an also out of sorts Gian van Veen. 5 previous meetings between Cross and Edhouse with Cross leading 3-2 but a more than credible tally for Edhouse and importantly knows he can get the better of the former World Champion having already done so.
12:00 European Tour 3
Gian van Veen
50 WIN
@26.00
Lose
-50
Gian van Veen is still looking for his first senior PDC title but he is a proven winner with 9 titles across the Challenge and Development Tour and with a few big names missing this week i think he could make a break through given his current form where he was only stopped by making a floor final in a last leg decider by Luke Humphries at the beginning of the week.
Martin Schindler
25 EW
@41.00
Win
1500
Martin Schindler is due for a title soon and it could arrive this week. In the most recent Euro Tour he made the semi-finals beating along the way very established players like Heta, Dobey and Aspinall before falling short against van Gerwen but he will have taken a lot from that run and could well go one or two better this weekend.

21:30 Rob Cross vs Gian van Veen
Gian van Veen
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.45
Lose
-50
Gian van Veen has a 75% win rate against Rob Cross from their 4 previous meetings and is in good form having recently made a semi-final on the Pro Tour at the beginning of the week.
20:00 Josh Rock vs Cameron Menzies
Cameron Menzies
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.30
Win
65
Cameron Menzies is running at a 68% win rate for the season and again averaged more than 100 in his opening round win yesterday. He also leads the head to head record versus Josh Rock 2-1.
19:00 Joe Cullen vs Martin Schindler
Martin Schindler
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.00
Win
50
Martin Schindler was very impressive in his opening round win yesterday averaging over 97 and that was with nothing coming back at him and a fair few missed doubles as he was only 28% on his finishing but his scoring was tremendous including 5 180's so think he will edge this one and the fact it is a pick'em shows how much progress he is making.
15:30 Michael Smith vs Ritchie Edhouse
Ritchie Edhouse
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@4.00
Win
150
Ritchie Edhouse was in good form again yesterday averaging just a shade under 96 and has now won 9 of his last 10 matches played so think at these odds he looks good value.
Ritchie Edhouse 2.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@1.83
Win
41
Going with Ritchie Edhouse +2.5 legs here in the race to 6 with the recent form of Smith very in and out especially on his usually reliable scoring so can see it going close to full distance.
15:00 Jonny Clayton vs Nathan Aspinall
Jonny Clayton
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.38
Lose
-50
Jonny Clayton is just starting to find some form again and there has been little between these two in previous meetings with 1 draw between them and 6 wins each in their 13 previous meetings so at a decent clip of odds against I like the value side of Clayton.
15:00 Man City v Luton
Luton
50 WIN
@31.00
Lose
-50
Man City have made 6 changes from their midweek clash with Real Madrid which speaks both to how tired the squad is right now after a fair few injuries and possibly that they already have one eye on the return leg in a few days so Luton could spring a suprise here with them possessing a few dangerous counter attacking players.
12:30 Damon Heta vs Callan Rydz
Damon Heta
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@1.50
Win
25
Callan Rydz laboured through a terrible quality opening round game eysterday avergaing just 82.55 and that is not far off his average of late with him at 87.33 over his last 10 matches played which on most days is not going to be anywhere close to Heta.
Damon Heta -1.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@1.80
Win
40
Damon Heta -1.5 is the pick here with the current struggles of Rydz who was aagin in the low 80's average yesterday meaning he has now averaged less than 83 in 5 of his last 6 matches played so think the steady and lethal Heta beats him by a few.
12:00 Ross Smith vs William OConnor
Ross Smith
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@1.50
Win
25
William O' Connor was steady in his win over King yesterday averaging just a shade under 93 but knows he will have to step up a couple of gears here against a Ross Smith who is 14th for year to date averages and who he has a pooor record against of 7 losses in their 9 previous meetings and I think this one goes the way of Smith as well.

20:00 Cameron Menzies vs Simon Whitlock
Cameron Menzies
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@1.62
Win
31
Simon Whitlock has lost 5 of his last 7 matches played and has a poor head to head record against Menzies having lost 3 of their 4 previous meetings and I would argue Menzies has never been better than he is now so could spell trouble for the Aussie.
19:30 Mike De Decker vs James Wade
Mike De Decker
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@1.80
Lose
-50
Mike De Decker holds a 3-2 head to head advantage over James Wade and is playing much the better of the two of late, he's won 5 of his last 7 matches and his two losses have been to near 100 averages a level of which Wade is rarely reaching in the last few years.
15:30 Michael Unterbuchner vs Luke Woodhouse
Luke Woodhouse
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@1.30
Lose
-50
Luke Woodhouse is a player on the rise and is upping his game both on the floor and on the stage. A recent semi-finalist on the Pro Tour he will be looking at this as a favourable draw and fresh from qualifying for another ET will now be eyeing up a spot in the European Championships and looking to bank some more rankings towards it here.
14:30 Callan Rydz vs Lee Evans
Lee Evans
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.75
Lose
-50
After being beaten to nil by van Gerwen in PC6, Callan Rydz is now on a run of 5 straight defeats and he is a player who can get stuck in a negative mindframe and get down on himself so happy to take him on here at generous odds with a very capable Evans who showed his quality at the World Championships.
13:30 Richard Veenstra vs Andrew Gilding
Andrew Gilding
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@2.00
Lose
-50
4 previous head to head encounters between these two and the record stands at 2 wins each. I'm going with Gilding for the win off the back of his deep run just a few days ago in PC8 where on his way he beat elite level players like van Gerwen and Clayton and think he'll have taken a lot from that.
12:30 Kai Gotthardt vs Brendan Dolan
Brendan Dolan
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@1.29
Win
14
After a slow start to the year Brendan Dolan has began to pick up a bit of steam lately now only losing at the first hurdle in 1 of his last 5 events and won through two rounds in the most recent Players Championship event where he was then only beaten in a last leg decider by World Champion Humphries.
12:00 Jitse van der Wal vs Ritchie Edhouse
Ritchie Edhouse
Win Match 2-way
50 WIN
@1.44
Win
22
Two previous head to head meetings between these two and both have been won by Ritchie Edhouse and his more vast stage experience should be an advantage here in this one too.
Ritchie Edhouse -1.50
Handicap 2-way
50 WIN
@1.73
Win
37
Ritchie Edhouse is averaging a shade over 92 so far for the year compared to 87 for his opponent van der Wal and has had some good wins of late over in-form players like de Sousa and Joyce so i think can get the job done inside 10 legs here.

Honky Tonk Highway was far from flawless when winning at Sandown last month but there are positives to take from that and with the added experience should go even better here and will take serious beating.

Mackenberg unlikely to get over the line first here but looks a juicy each way bet, and does have 8 podium finishes in 12 Chase outings previously so no stranger to getting in and amongst it.

Kargese continued the incredibly impressive form last time out finishing 2nd and that is now 3 wins and 3 2nd's in 6 outings with the pattern always being a runner up followed by a win, I like that to continue here today.

Plymouth have had a really tough run of home fixtures in particular which has seen them get dragged into trouble but I like them roared in by a home crowd here in a more manageable fixture to take all 3 points.

Preston have only been beaten in 1 of their last 6 home league games and have won 3 of those, like them here playing pressure free against a struggling Huddersfield side.
Will Keane
First Goalscorer
Will Keane leads the line for Preston tonight and he will be keen to end a dry spell of late having not scored in his last 6 but 12 league goals this season and half of those have been opening goals of games so is a man that can be relied upon.
19:45 Southampton v Coventry
Under 2.50
Total Goals
Coventry have seen 40% of their league games this season end with less than 2.5 goals scored so the odds here at 2/1 look good value.

Mike De Decker was beaten early yesterday in the second round but it was to eventual winner Chris Dobey and he averaged 101 in doing so continuing his improved form yet again and I think he lands a floor title this season.
