Research any player prop in seconds. Hit rates, matchup grades and deep stats for NBA, MLB, WNBA and NFL, all in one app. A player prop is a bet on one player's performance: points, strikeouts, passing yards and more. PropsMadness shows you what the data says before you put money on it, so you're not going on gut feeling. TONIGHT'S PROPS, ON ONE SCREEN Your home screen lays out the slate with hit rates and matchup grades side by side. Filter it down to the leagues, markets and players you care about, and set it up the way you research. EVERY PROP, IN DEPTH Pick any player and market to see season averages, hit rates, head-to-head history, expected minutes and how similar players did against the same opponent. DEEPER THAN THE BOX SCORE See how a player gets their numbers, not just what they were. • Basketball: shooting zones, shot types (catch & shoot, pull-up, isolation, pick & roll, post up) and player-vs-defense comparisons that show mismatches the box score hides • Football: passing, rushing and receiving splits, red zone usage, target share and opponent pass and run defense rankings • Baseball: starting pitcher matchups, batter vs pitcher history and park factors 50+ FILTERS • Opponent defensive rankings by position, play type and shooting zone • Opponent rankings over the last 5, 10 or 15 games or the full season • Pace, defensive rating and situational stats • Minutes, usage and snap counts • Teammate on/off: with or without a given teammate • Closing line data Every filter chip shows the opponent's actual ranking, so you can tell a tough matchup from a soft one without tapping into anything. GRAPHS AND TRENDS Interactive graphs plot every game against the line. Switch between averages and medians and overlay advanced stats to spot trends a table won't show. FAVORITES Star any prop to add it to your watchlist and come back to it before lock. BET TRACKING Log the props you play and dig into your results to see how you're really doing over time.
