After a dramatic start to this years Premier League, Wayne Mardle makes his predictions for night two in Newcastle. Elite Lions Jerseys . Defending champion Gary Anderson will make his first appearance in the competition after recovering from a virus as he faces Michael van Gerwen.World No 1 Van Gerwen will be searching for his first win of the campaign, as will Phil Taylor, who faces James Wade in a battle of former winners. All the action is live on Sky Sports on Thursday night. Raymond van Barneveld v Peter Wright Raymond van Barneveld will be hoping to build on his win over Phil Taylor They both played especially well on the first night, especially Barney who had Phil Taylor to beat. We spoke to Raymond after the match last week, me and Dave Clark, and he actually admitted there is something about the World Championship and Premier League which switches him on. Out of the 10 previous years, he has qualified for the play-offs eight times. Van Barneveld dominated his match against Taylor These two have played each other in the Premier League three times and there have been two draws and a 7-5 win to Barney. I think this will be close, probably down to the last leg, and Barney will nick it. Sky Bet Price Boost MVG, Lewis and Wright all to win, was 7/1, NOW 9/1 Adrian Lewis v Dave Chisnall Adrian Lewis has rediscovered his best form in recent months Im in turmoil over this match. Lewis to me is starting to look like he is playing his best darts since 2011. Ive been saying this for the last three or four years and Im glad Im being proven right now. He cannot keep relying on just his talent alone. There is a saying that hard work beats talent, if talent does not work hard. That is Adrian Lewis in a nutshell. Adrian Lewis had to settle for a 120 after his third dart got caught Dave Chisnall has got a lot of talent, but he works hard at his game. He tries hard to get everything right. Lewis for me, is someone I back with no confidence, but if I back against him, he will lose me money.Im going to go for a draw on this one. I cannot call it. They both can play at such a great standard.Gary Anderson v Michael van Gerwen Gary Anderson begins his campaign against Michael van Gerwen Gary is lucky to be back in just a week after a virus. He could have been out for much longer. Ive always had theories about joining the party late. I think it takes an hour or so to get involved. You walk in when everyone is all settled and you do feel like an outsider. For Gary its week one.Michael, after his performance against James Wade, will definitely be thinking I need two points on the table here. Im not saying he will be trying harder to win, because that is what he will do anyway, but Gary Anderson cannot be 100 per cent. He will have hardly practiced. 2013 champion Michael Van Gerwen lost his first match of the season Ive got to go for Van Gerwen here to win, purely because Gary has been out for a couple of weeks and Michael will be absolutely match fit. John Parts Picks Back the selections of Sky Sports pundit John Part with Sky Bet James Wade v Phil Taylor Phil Taylor beat Van Gerwen in the final of the UK Open qualifier three at the weekend Phil Taylor is turning into a normal human being, where he doesnt play well every week. I think weve now got to accept the fact that hes going to have these games, these tournaments where he obliterates the field and other nights he looks like everyone else. Last week, against Barney he just looked like a normal darts player. This week he could go up and average 110. Phil Taylor is turning into a normal human being, where he doesnt play well every week. Wayne Mardle During the weekend he played well and that can only help his confidence. Its not on the big stage where he wants to do it more, but these are little stepping stones.I think he will beat James Wade. James looked really good last week, but Michael van Gerwen missed a dart to go 4-0 up, missed a dart to go 4-1 up, missed another dart to go 5-3 up. The result could easily have been different. I just feel that James Wade will play roughly to the same standard, but I think Phil Taylor plays better than he did last week, purely because hes had a confidence boosting weekend, and will win this one.Watch night two of the Premier League this Thursday night, starting at 7pm on Sky Sports 1.

Camo Lions Jerseys . The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad.

Hargreaves began his career in 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and has played with the Edmonton Eskimos and last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. HOUSTON -- Seemingly on the brink of collapse following a pair of interleague home losses to the St. Louis Cardinals last week, the Houston Astros rebounded with a successful swing through Baltimore and Pittsburgh and set the table to remain in the thick of the American League wild card chase with a six-game homestand opening Friday.The Astros (66-61) finished 5-2 during their seven-game stretch against the Orioles and Pirates and are 9-5 over their last 14 road games. Once 10 games above .500, the Astros slipped to 61-60 after dropping the opener in Baltimore on Aug. 18. And while they remain are four games behind the Orioles for the second wild card spot, the Astros recent road run breathed new life into their postseason hopes.Its one that we needed, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said following a 5-4 victory over Pittsburgh in Wednesdays series finale. We played two good teams and came away 5-2. Im really proud of our guys. We have a small margin of error these days and weve responded by playing well.If the Astros are to surpass Baltimore, Detroit and Seattle in the wild card picture, they will need to take full advantage of their upcoming schedule. Houston hosts the Rays (54-72) and Athletics during their upcoming homestand, two teams well below .500 and long since realistically eliminated from playoff contention.Right-hander Mike Fiers (9-6, 4.41 ERA) starts the opener for the Astros seeking to win consecutive decisions for the first time since he defeated the Rays and Reds oon June 11 and June 19. Black Lions Jerseys. Fiers allowed two runs on five hits and one walk with three strikeouts over seven innings while beating the Rays in his first career start against them.Fiers is 2-1 over his last three starts but has posted a 4.86 ERA while surrendering six home runs over 16 2/3 innings, a hallmark of his inconsistency. While he is 2-2 with a 4.37 ERA this month, opposing batters are slugging .494 against Fiers during August and he has alternated wins and losses over his last seven decisions.Left-hander Drew Smyly (6-11, 4.88 ERA) looks to continue his exceptional run of pitching for the Rays. He is 4-0 with a 2.79 ERA over his last six starts and the Rays have claimed victory in each of his previous five appearances. Smyly has lowered his season ERA by 0.76 runs over his last six outings, with 30 strikeouts against nine walks over 38 2/3 innings while limiting opponents to a .577 OPS.Smyly is 1-2 with a 6.10 ERA over four appearances (two starts) against the Astros.The Rays completed their most successful homestand of the season Thursday with a 2-1 victory over the Red Sox, winning consecutive games to split the four-game series. Tampa Bay finished 7-3 against the Padres, Rangers and Red Sox.We needed a lot of things to come together for us to get that win, Rays manager Kevin Cash told MLB.com. It seemed like they all did today.
