Pays at 10/3

While Michael van Gerwen hasn't had the most consistent 2024, there is a reason why he is amongst the favourites to win this year's Worlds.

I fancy the Dutchman to get the better of James Hurrell in most aspects of the game, which is why my Bet Builder backs Van Gerwen in the 180 and checkout markets.

I like Van Gerwen's chances of hitting the first, and the most 180s in this one and they will be my first two picks in my Bet Builder.

Hurrell's inexperience on the main stage should play into the hands of the three times World's winner and, while it is just another darts match for Van Gerwen, Hurrell will likely feel the pressure.

For that reason, my third and fourth picks in the Bet Builder are for Michael van Gerwen to hit the highest checkout and hit the most 100+ checkouts.

These four picks, packaged together in my Bet Builder, comes out at 10/3, and I feel this is great value considering Van Gerwen is the heavy favourite heading into this matchup.

If you fancy a side bet on the correct set score and expect Michael van Gerwen to win in relatively comfortable fashion, you can get 11/5 odds on the Dutchman to win 3-1.
