I really see no favorite here. You could bet either side and sweat! Of course that is the fun part.

Please support this stream and enjoy what we are putting together.

Hard to see Wilkie, a fine player, as Aranas' equal. James not only came 2nd in the 2019 Derby City nine ball this year but was good enough to beat Dennis Orcullo at the International by a score of 11-1. Wilkie can certainly win this, but he's a clear underdog in my eyes.

Is this on a big table or little?

Which makes this look like a very lopsided match going in. A 60-point differential says Aranas is about a 10 to 1 favorite in a race to 21.

But I remember that Wilke clobbered Siming Chen in a race to 12 about 10 months ago, and she also has a much higher Fargo rating.

He also beat Shane at Salt City playingv10 ball neutral racker.
