Noppert/Nijman - Feels like Wessel very slightly, a sort of 55/45 kind of game, so there's no real value with Danny already being priced as a very small underdog.
Wade/Smith - Looks like Ross has the better of it, a tad better than 60/40, as such I feel the market is slightly overvaluing James, it's a play on Ross but it's not the strongest by any stretch.
Cross/Gilding - Another 60/40 sort of game, Andrew's still showing enough to have more than a chance here and at the price offered is definitely worth a tiny pop.
Heta/Menzies - Heta's better, but it's not by much, Menzies projecting at slightly better than 40% to claim this one, as such the line seems pretty much perfect and there's no value either way.
Dobey/Wattimena - Much the same as the above, except here Jermaine's maybe got an extra percentage point's advantage. If the market was a bit tighter we might look at Dobey here, but it isn't, so we don't.
Smith/Pietreczko - Looks pretty much a pure 2-1 shot in favour of the former world champ, with form based samples going more in his favour. We're offered a little bit better than 1.5 on Michael so I think that's worth a tiny play.
Rock/van Veen - Really too close to call. I've got Gian by the tiniest of margins, but that's all pulled back by really good form numbers (as you would expect given his game of late). That form is throwing Rock at getting close to 6/5, which is near a bet for me but I'd need a bit more to actually open the wallet.
van den Bergh/Joyce - Another fairly tight one, with Joyce being the small favourite and coming off a great win yesterday. It does trail in slightly in form towards Dimitri but he's never actually winning any sample. That said, being able to get better than 2.5 does look fairly decent value.
Anderson/Woodhouse - Gary's a strong favourite here, looking more or less 70/30 for the most one sided game we've got so far, although Luke is a bit closer in the most form based sample we have. As such, while Gary being available at closer to 1.6 than 1.5 is a good play, it's perhaps not quite as good as it otherwise might be, particularly given this is a redo from last time out where Woodhouse won and won well.
Price/Searle - Price is hovering at just better than 55/45 on the longer samples, but on the shortest one Ryan does creep in at just better than 50/50, so this seems like it should be very tight, there's not much of anything matched at all in this one and no line seems appealing at this time.
Chisnall/Evans - More rematches, this time from both the worlds and UK Open. Here's similar to the last one except a bit more exaggerated, Chizzy projecting round about 60/40 in the bigger sample, but it's the other way round in the smaller one. Overall it's favouring Dave, but not by a great deal and even money, which we're not quite getting, would be where we start to bet on Dave.
Wright/de Decker - Very tight one. Longer form suggests de Decker by around 55/45, shorter form goes the other way around. Tough to call, so with Wright being a decent enough price north of evens, this is the best play so far.
van Gerwen/Springer - Niko's got talent, for sure, enough that even against someone of van Gerwen's quality he's still more or less only a 40/60 dog. The current price of not quite 2.7 is very close to being enough to fire, so if money comes in on Michael, as it may well do, there could be a bit of value in laying him here.
Humphries/Krcmar - Looks like Luke has a solid advantage, but Boris is playing well and the form samples favour him more than the longer one (although there may be some sample issues with him just having dropped off the tour). 3/1 is a pretty big number, on the longest sample it's bad, on the average of the three it might be a tiny play, but I'll pass given the shortest one, which does favour Boris the most, may not be truly representative.
Clayton/Schindler - Looks like Clayton's got the edge here, it's averaging out at a bit better than 60/40, with Martin's best numbers coming in the longest sample, although there Clayton's still better than 55/45. That seems a bit counterintuitive given Schindler literally won a title this week, but it is what it is, Clayton I think at 1.7 is very close to a bet but I'll let this one pass for really short form and homefield reasons.
Aspinall/Edhouse - Final game, and it's one where the seed seems favoured, getting close to 60/40 in Aspinall's favour so Edhouse definitely has equity here. There doesn't seem any value in the market either way though.
That's the lot, should be back tomorrow morning (or maybe late tonight) with last sixteen thoughts.
