Player prop EV scanner
Find player-prop and DFS projection rows worth reviewing before you build a slip.
The +EV Props Optimizer ranks supported prop rows by expected value so users can compare a projection, line, or side against broader market context before opening a DFS app. It is a research workflow for verification, not an automated slip builder or guarantee of a winning entry.

Best fit
Who this tool is for
Markets and platforms
Coverage depends on supported books, markets, and user location
DFS and pick'em player props where Upside has current coverage, including projection-style markets that can be compared against broader market context.
Coverage varies by league, platform, slate, user location, stat type, account access, and market freshness, so every row should be treated as a lead for review.
Traditional sportsbook prop workflows may require separate book-specific verification; this page focuses on the DFS and pick'em prop optimizer route.
Upside scans 30+ sportsbooks, DFS apps, exchanges, and prediction markets across the product, but each tool has its own coverage rules and data availability.
Workflow
What to check before making your own decision
Filter to platforms you can actually use
Start with the DFS and pick'em apps available to you, then narrow by league, slate, stat type, and market category. Filtering first keeps the optimizer from turning into a long list of rows you cannot act on or verify.
Sort by EV percentage, then read the context
Use EV percentage to prioritize review, but do not stop at the ranking. Check the projected probability, market context, player, stat, side, and book coverage that created the apparent edge.
Open the source app and verify freshness
Before adding any prop to a slip, confirm the same projection is live in the DFS app. Props can move, disappear, or use slightly different stat definitions, and Upside does not control platform availability.
Build slips from verified rows only
Use verified rows as candidates for your own slip construction. Consider correlation, leg count, payout structure, bankroll limits, and variance before making any independent decision.
Before relying on the data
- Does the source app still show the same player, projection, side, and stat category as the row in Upside?
- Does the market format match your intended slip, including scoring rules, push treatment, and any platform-specific restrictions?
- Does the expected-value estimate still fit your bankroll, variance tolerance, and responsible play limits after you verify the live projection?
Questions
Common +EV Props Optimizer questions
What is the +EV Props Optimizer?
The +EV Props Optimizer is a public research page and app workflow for ranking supported DFS and player-prop rows by expected value, then reviewing whether the projection still makes sense in the source app.
Is this only for PrizePicks?
No. PrizePicks has its own focused page, but the broader +EV Props Optimizer is built for supported DFS and pick'em platforms where Upside can compare prop projections to market context.
Does Upside place DFS entries or wagers?
No. Upside is read-only analytics software. It does not accept wagers, place entries, operate a sportsbook, process gambling transactions, or submit slips on a user's behalf.
What should users verify before adding a prop to a slip?
Users should verify the live projection, player, stat category, side, platform rules, payout structure, and bankroll fit before deciding whether a prop belongs in any slip.
