Great Arrows
WDC 2023
PDC World Championships resumes today, and its down to the home stretch en route to crowning the 2023 world champion. One thing of note, of the 32 remaining players, 29 of them are seeded (meaning top 32 in the world). A record for the world championships.
Game Of The Day –
Josh Rock @8/13 v Nathan Aspinall
In what is expected to be an absolute firecracker of a match, we are going with with Josh “Rocky” Rock to advance past Nathan “The Asp” Aspinall.
Rock, current world #47, is a 21-year old up-n-comer, who has been nothing short of spectacular all year. In this tournament alone, Rocky boasts a scoring average over 92.5, with over 40% check out success rate. Tremendous numbers, and if he can get the scoring average up a little bit, he will be an absolute handful for anyone remaining in the tournament.
Aspinall, current world #10, is a top-tier talent, and he’s actually had a pretty solid 2022 campaign. Most notable finishes for The Asp are a pair of runner up finishes in the World Grand Prix and Grand Slam of Darts.
Back in April of this year, Aspinall revealed he tore a tendon in his right wrist. In an interview he gave to The Daily Star, Asp suggested he may be sidelined for the remainder of the year. Something either changed or his treatment must have worked, because he’s returned much sooner than expected, and he’s performed well in that time.
This is the main reason behind our pick today, the phrase to much too soon comes to mind.
Raymond van Barneveld Over 5.5 180s @11/8 vs Gerwyn Price
We see Price winning but worth backing Barney on this line. RVB usually performs well at the Worlds when he has gotten past the second round, even though he hasn’t won it since that thriller of a game in 2007, he has played some great games at the Worlds since then.
Gabriel Clemens ML @4/5 vs Jim Williams
Clemens won his first game 3-0 pretty easily, he is ranked over 50 places higher than his opponent (25 to 77). While Williams did upset James Wade in his last game, we still believe Clemens is favored more than the odds would suggest here.
