With the tides turning towards MVG recently, his plus money darts odds could be worth the risk, especially against his rival.
Rob Cross Vs. Stephen Bunting

This is not the typical top-5 matchup as both Cross and Bunting have been cold. Cross especially though having lost six of his last seven outings. Bunting, on the other hand, is on the cusp of disaster with a 2-2 record in his last four.
