What's New in BlowOutAlert

⚾ Evidence — Lineup & Batting Average Fixes

• Batting average is now clearly labeled BA next to OBP and SLG on batter cards, so it's obvious which number is which
• Fixed a bug where a batter or probable pitcher could be missing entirely from the Evidence lineup if that player hadn't yet been added to our player database — they now appear instead of vanishing
• Fixed starting pitchers not showing up in the Evidence lineup for games that are currently live — previously the pitcher would disappear from the lineup once the game started

⚡ EV Scanner — Accuracy Fixes

• Fixed odds occasionally being shown next to the wrong betting line for a player prop, which could make a bet look far more (or less) valuable than it actually is
• Fixed a bug where a rare, high-payout bet — like a player hitting multiple home runs in one game — could appear mislabeled under a much more common betting line
• EV Scanner no longer flags a prop as good value when there's too little historical evidence behind it (for example, a rare multi-homer game happening only once in a small sample of recent games)

🕵️ Case Builder — Small Polish

• Each leg in a Case Builder case now shows the player's team logo next to their name

⚽ FIFA Preview Pages — Form, Key Players & Momentum

• FIFA game preview pages now show each team's recent form — the last five results displayed as color-coded W / D / L pills with opponent and score
• A Key Players to Watch section surfaces the top three starters from each side based on recent ratings, goals, assists, and key passes
• A Momentum Profile chart shows how each team's dominance has trended across the season, broken down by first and second half

⚽ FIFA — CASE Tab Fix

• Fixed a bug where the CASE tab was showing analysis for the wrong match — switching between upcoming games now always loads the correct team data

⚾ MLB — Market Edge Shift Gauge Fix

• The Market Edge Shift gauge now always shows the away team on the left and the home team on the right, matching the game card layout — previously the gauge could flip direction when the away team was the favorite, making it visually confusing

⚾ MLB — HR Signals Narrowed to Elite Power Hitters

• The Home Runs tab in MLB Signals now only shows the top 10% of home run hitters leaguewide for the current regular season — previously any batter on today's slate could appear regardless of their power numbers, flooding the list with unlikely candidates

⚡ EV Scanner — New MLB Tool (PRO+)

• A new EV Scanner tool is available for MLB on PRO and higher subscriptions — it surfaces positive expected-value opportunities across today's slate by comparing market odds against our own probability estimates
• Moneyline EV — compares each sportsbook's moneyline price against the BlowOutAlert engine's win probability to flag mispriced favorites and underdogs
• Totals EV — evaluates Over/Under lines using starting pitcher FIP, strikeout rate, bullpen quality, and park factor to estimate true scoring likelihood
• Props EV (ELITE+) — analyzes player prop lines against each batter's and pitcher's last 10 qualifying games to surface props where the historical hit rate implies an edge; a LOW SAMPLE badge appears on any prop backed by fewer than 8 games
• A book filter lets you narrow results to your preferred sportsbook — FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, BetRivers, Caesars, or Fanatics
• A live countdown timer shows seconds until the next data refresh
• Results can be exported to CSV or JSON (PRO+ only)

🗳️ FACTS — Login Required to Vote on Suspects

• Upvoting and downvoting suspects in the FACTS section now requires being logged in — a sign-in prompt is shown if you attempt to vote without an account, consistent with how adding games to Radar works

🔧 MLB Engine — Stability Fix

• Fixed a crash that could occur when a starting pitcher had recent game stats on record but no full-season ERA yet (for example, early in a debut season) — the analysis engine now handles this gracefully without interrupting the rest of the page

💳 Pricing — Yearly Plans Now Available

• Pro Yearly at $189/year — saves 17% compared to paying month to month
• Elite Yearly at $499/year — saves 15% compared to paying month to month
• Yearly is now the default selected option on both Pro and Elite plan cards
• The Daily billing option has been removed — plans are now available Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly

🗂️ Features Page — Reorganized by Sport

• Universal tools available across all sports are now listed first — Radar, EV Scanner, FACTS, Betting Odds, and others
• Sport-specific tools have been moved to their respective sport pages — the Features page now links out to NBA, MLB, NCAAB, and FIFA instead of mixing everything together
• Radar is now correctly shown as a PRO tool (was previously labeled Free)

⚾ MLB — New PITCH Tab in FACTS Card

• A new PITCH tab has been added to the FACTS card, sitting between CASE and SUSPECTS — it shows the full pitcher head-to-head breakdown for the selected game, including starter stats, rest and fatigue, opportunity scores, and matchup factors per pitcher
• The CASE tab has been streamlined to focus on engine edges and DFS stack recommendations — pitcher details now live exclusively in the PITCH tab

⚾ MLB — Batter-Specific Matchup Analysis

• Clicking Matchup Analysis on an MLB player card now shows that batter's data against today's opponent — season stats, handedness splits highlighted against the projected starter's throwing arm, career history vs the opponent team, and a recent game log
• Previously the window showed a pitcher vs pitcher comparison regardless of which player you clicked, which wasn't useful for evaluating position players

📊 Player Hit Rate — Now a Standalone Window

• The Hit Rate button on lineup player cards now opens a dedicated floating window for that specific player's prop hit rate history — showing how often they've cleared each prop line
• Hit Rate has been removed from inside the Player Props dialog, which now focuses entirely on today's available lines

📋 Player Props — Abbreviated Prop Type Tabs

• Prop type tabs in the Player Props dialog now use short abbreviations (HR, TB, P.K, B.K, H+R+RBI, etc.) to keep the tab bar compact — the full prop name is still shown on hover

📄 Game Preview Pages

• Every MLB and FIFA game now has a dedicated public preview page at sportsfbi.com/{sport}/preview/… — shareable links you can send to anyone without needing an account
• FIFA preview pages show the group standings table with country flags, confirmed lineups with position badges, head-to-head history, and live match odds
• MLB preview pages show starting pitcher stats, team offensive numbers, bullpen quality, days of rest, and recent run differential for both sides
• Game cards on the SportsFBI home page now link directly to their preview pages instead of the app
• All preview pages are included in the sitemap so they can be discovered through search engines

⚽ FIFA Preview — Lineup & Standings Improvements

• Confirmed lineups are now sorted by position — forwards at the top, then midfielders, defenders, and goalkeeper at the bottom — matching the typical teamsheet layout
• Each player row now shows both a colored position badge and a position emoji (⚔️ FW · ⚙️ MF · 🛡️ DF · 🥅 GK) for a quick visual read
• Country flags now appear next to each team in the group standings table
• The group standings title no longer incorrectly repeats the word "Group" (e.g. was showing "GROUP GROUP L", now shows "GROUP L")

👁️ Radar — Bug Fix

• Fixed a bug where picks added from the Value Plays panel were being silently removed from your Radar the moment you opened it — they now stay active until the game result is confirmed

👁️ Radar — History Tab & Results

• The Radar History tab now correctly shows all completed picks once games have ended — previously the tab was empty even for finished games
• Each history entry now shows its result — HIT, MISS, or PUSH — in a result column on the right
• Player props added from the Player Props modal now correctly link to the game so results can be resolved after the game ends

🏳️ Radar — Team Flags & Logos

• FIFA game entries now show only the flag of the team you picked to win the moneyline — the matchup label (e.g. IRQ @ SEN) remains plain text
• MLB game entries show the logo of the team you picked, displayed over a white circle so dark logos stand out clearly against both light and dark themes
• FIFA player prop entries now show the player's country flag before their team abbreviation; MLB player prop entries show the team logo in the same white-circle treatment
• "ML" has been renamed to "Moneyline" and "Total" to "Total O/U" throughout the Radar for clarity

🔍 FIFA Suspects — Smarter Filtering & Vendor Awareness

• Player props with odds of -300 or worse are no longer shown in the Suspects tab — these heavily juiced lines offer little betting value and were cluttering the view
• Push suspects — players where the statistical projection lands exactly on the line with no directional edge — are also hidden
• The Suspects tab now respects the vendor you have selected in the toolbar — switching from DraftKings to FanDuel (or any other book) instantly refreshes the suspects list to show that book's lines and odds

📊 FIFA Hit Rate — Smarter & More Focused

• Hit Rate now opens on yesterday's date by default so you immediately see results from the most recently completed set of matches
• The Hit Rate list now shows the same single best prop per player that was featured in the Suspects tab on that date — previously it showed every available prop line for every player, which inflated the list with redundant entries
• The same odds filter applied to Suspects (-300 or worse hidden) and the same push filter (no-edge entries hidden) are now applied to Hit Rate as well, keeping both views consistent

🔬 Suspects — New Suspicion Score Algorithm (FIFA & MLB)

• Each suspect now receives a Suspicion Score from 0 to 100, replacing the old simple average-vs-line ratio with a weighted model that accounts for seven different factors
• Recent form is blended across multiple time windows — season average, last 10, last 5, and last 3 games — so a player who has been trending hot lately ranks higher than one whose season numbers are padded by early-season games
• Consistency matters: players who produce a stable number every game score higher than players whose output swings wildly — even if their average looks the same on paper
• Lineup status is factored in — if the official lineup has been posted and a player is not in it, they are removed from the list entirely rather than showing up with a lower score
• Opponent strength and market odds are also weighed, so a strong historical number against a weak defensive opponent at a fair price scores better than the same number into a stacked market

🏅 Suspects — Dynamic Confidence Badges

• Each suspect card now displays one of four confidence badges based on its Suspicion Score: ELITE (90+), STRONG (80–89), WATCH (70–79), or RISK (60–69)
• ELITE suspects are highlighted in purple, STRONG in green, WATCH in yellow, and RISK in red — making it easy to scan the list and prioritize your strongest plays at a glance
• The score itself is displayed next to the OVER / UNDER direction on each card so you can see exactly how much confidence the model has in the play
• The confidence bar at the bottom of each card also reflects the score tier — five filled bars for ELITE down to two bars for RISK

🧾 Suspects — Evidence Panel & Trend Indicator

• Each suspect card now includes an Evidence section showing exactly how the Suspicion Score was built — each factor is listed with its name, icon, and how many points it contributed out of its maximum possible
• Factors that score near their maximum are shown in green; mid-range factors in gray; weak factors in red — giving you an immediate read on why a player ranked where they did
• A Trending Up or Trending Down chip appears on cards where the player's most recent three-game stretch diverges meaningfully from their longer-term baseline

🌐 MLB Game Analysis Now Available in Spanish

• When you switch the app language to Spanish, the entire MLB CASE tab — pitcher matchup bullets, run environment label, and DFS stack recommendations — now appears in Spanish
• Engine edge factors shown in the facts card (home field advantage, starting pitcher quality, streak indicators, and more) are also fully translated
• This completes full Spanish coverage across all sports: FIFA, NBA, NCAAB, and MLB analysis are all now available in both English and Spanish

⚽ FIFA Analysis Now Fully Free

• The full CASES, FACTS, and EVIDENCE sections of the FIFA Facts card are now available on all account tiers — no subscription required to see the match analysis and key data points
• Hit Rate, Signals, Streak Board, and Value Plays remain Pro and Elite features

📤 Share Blog Posts to Social Media

• Every blog post now has a share bar with one-click buttons for X, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Threads
• An Instagram button copies the post link to your clipboard so you can paste it directly into a story or bio

🔍 Blog SEO Improvements

• Sport filter links now use clean URLs — /blog/nba instead of /blog?sport=nba — which are better for search engines and easier to share
• The sitemap is now generated automatically so newly published posts are included without any manual update
• Blog post pages and the blog index now include full Open Graph and Twitter Card tags so shared links display a proper preview image and description on every platform

📅 Player Profiles Now Cover the 2022 World Cup

• Player Profile cards now include a season selector — switch between 2026 and 2022 to view a player's full stats from either tournament
• For players who appeared in both World Cups — Messi, Mbappe, Ronaldo, and hundreds more — you can compare their per-match game logs, tournament totals, and ratings across both editions side by side
• The selector appears as a pill row between the player header and the stats tabs; the rest of the card updates instantly when you switch years

🔧 Shot Map — Home Team Now Correctly on the Left

• Fixed an issue where the home and away teams were displayed on the wrong sides of the pitch in the shot map — the home team's shots now always appear on the left half of the pitch, and the away team's shots on the right, matching the team labels at the top of the map

🔧 Player Profile — Correct Player Now Always Shown

• Fixed a rare issue where clicking a player's name could open the profile card for the wrong player — for example Lionel Messi's card showing Giovani Lo Celso's stats. The correct player is now always loaded regardless of how IDs are matched in the database

🏆 New: Golden Boot Race & Tournament Leaderboards

• A LEADERS tab has been added to the left panel in the FIFA workspace alongside Matches, Standings, and Futures — showing live tournament-wide rankings across six stat categories
• Six leaderboard tabs are available: Scorers (goals), Assists, Expected Goals (xG), Average Match Rating, Shots on Target, and Goalkeeper Saves
• Each row shows the player's rank, name, team flag, stat value, and matches played — clicking a player's name opens their full Player Profile
• The top 5 rows are visible on free accounts; Pro and Elite members see the full ranked list

📋 New: Projected Lineups for Upcoming Matches

• For matches that haven't kicked off yet and don't have an official confirmed lineup, the Lineups panel now shows a projected starting XI and bench based on each player's starting history this tournament
• The projection is built by tallying how often each player has started in prior matches this season — the 11 most frequent starters form the projected XI, with the next 8 as the projected bench
• Each player card shows a start-rate confidence indicator so you can see how reliable the projection is
• A "Projected Lineup — not official" banner clearly distinguishes projected lineups from confirmed team sheets

⚽ New: FIFA Team Info Panel

• Clicking any team name or abbreviation throughout the FIFA workspace now opens a dedicated team panel — available from match cards, the lineup view, the Signals window, and anywhere else a team is displayed
• The panel shows the full squad organized by position: Goalkeepers, Defenders, Midfielders, and Forwards — each with their shirt number and position label
• Every player card shows their live tournament stats pulled directly from match data: appearances, goals, assists, and average rating across all games played so far this World Cup
• A Team Stats section at the bottom summarizes the team's season averages: expected goals per match, average possession percentage, shots on target, corners, fouls, and tackles

⚡ New: FIFA Signals Engine (Elite)

• A new SIGNALS button appears in the toolbar whenever you are on the FIFA sport — clicking it opens a floating panel you can keep open alongside the match view. Requires an Elite subscription.
• The panel shows only today's scheduled matches — not the full tournament schedule — so you are always looking at games that are actually coming up
• The first upcoming match is automatically selected when the window opens; clicking a different match tab switches the view to that game
• Six signals are computed per match by comparing each team's statistics from the entire tournament so far: xG Edge (which team creates higher-quality chances), Possession (who controls the ball and tempo), Set Piece Threat (corners and headed goals combined), Press Intensity (fouls and tackles as a style indicator), Form (average match rating across the last three games), and Late Momentum (how each team was pressing in the final 15 minutes of their last match)
• Each signal is tagged EDGE (strong statistical advantage), LEAN (slight lean), or EVEN (no meaningful difference) with a plain-English betting implication — for example "ML Home · Over", "Counter-attack value", or "Physical match · Cards Over"
• Home and away values are shown side by side for every signal so you can see the numbers behind the call, not just the outcome
• Clicking any team abbreviation inside the Signals window opens that team's full Team Info Panel

📊 Player Influence Tab & Key Passer Badge

• Player Profile cards now include an Influence tab that shows a player's passing and key pass patterns across the tournament — total key passes, average per match, and pass accuracy
• A PLAYMAKER badge is awarded to players averaging 1.5 or more key passes per match, highlighting the team's creative engine
• The Influence tab includes a per-match bar chart so you can see which games a player was most impactful in the build-up play
• A 🎯 badge now appears on the player card of the top key passer in the confirmed starting lineup for each team — making it easy to spot the playmaker at a glance without opening their full profile

📋 Official Lineup Average Stats

• When a team's official lineup has been announced but the match hasn't kicked off yet, each player card in the Lineups panel now shows their tournament average stats — goals, assists, rating, expected goals, shots on target, key passes, and tackles — exactly the same stats you'd see on a projected lineup card
• A banner at the top of the lineup clearly indicates "Official Lineup — avg stats shown per player · match has not started" so you always know what you're looking at
• This closes the gap where confirmed lineups previously showed only names and positions while projected lineups showed full stat context

🏅 Key Players to Watch (CASE Tab)

• The FACTS panel's CASE tab — which appears on upcoming matches before kickoff — now includes a "Key Players to Watch" section between the Recent Form results and the Momentum Profile chart
• For each team, up to three standout players are identified based on their last three completed matches: form rating, goals, assists, and key passes are combined into a single influence score
• Each player card shows their position group, recent form rating (color-coded green/yellow), their goal, assist, and key pass totals from their last three games, and a confidence bar proportional to their score
• The section only appears when a confirmed lineup has been submitted — if no lineup has been posted yet, the section is hidden automatically

💰 FIFA Value Plays Tool

• A new "Value Plays" button appears in the toolbar whenever you are on the FIFA sport — clicking it opens a floating panel you can keep open alongside the match view
• The tool scans player props for all upcoming matches and computes each player's tournament average for that stat type, then highlights players whose average is above their current betting line
• Six prop categories are covered: Anytime Goal, Shots on Target, Goal or Assist, Assists, Saves, and Tackles
• Each row shows the player's ratio badge (STRONG, MOD, or SLIGHT), tournament average, hit rate — the percentage of past matches where they exceeded the line — and the current odds
• You can add any player directly to your Radar as an OVER from the same panel

🔍 FIFA Match Suspects Tab

• A new SUSPECTS tab has been added to the FIFA match detail view, joining Overview, Events, Stats, and Odds
• For each upcoming match, the tab shows the key players to watch — pulled from available prop lines and ranked by how well each player's tournament history lines up with their current line
• Players are grouped by home team and away team so you can quickly compare both sides of the matchup
• Each row shows the best prop opportunity for that player: prop type, line, tournament average, hit rate, and odds — with a quick-add Radar button on the right
• Clicking a player's name opens their full Player Profile card directly from the Suspects tab

📋 FIFA Lineup — Position Order & Icons

• Players in the lineup panels — both official and projected — are now displayed in tactical order: Forwards at the top, Midfielders in the middle, Defenders below, and the Goalkeeper at the bottom
• Every position badge now has a matching icon: ⚔️ for Forwards, ⚙️ for Midfielders, 🛡️ for Defenders, and 🥅 for Goalkeepers, making it easier to scan the lineup at a glance

📺 FIFA Live Match Clock & Tab Cleanup

• Match cards now show the current period and minute for games in progress — for example "1H 34'" or "2H 72'" — replacing the plain live indicator so you can tell at a glance how deep into the game it is
• The CASE tab (pre-match analysis) no longer appears once a game has ended — completed matches open directly to the SUMMARY tab, keeping the navigation clean and relevant

⚾ MLB Batting Signals — Sortable Columns

• Every column header in the Batting Signals panel is now clickable — tap a header once to sort the full list by that column, tap again to flip the order
• Sortable columns include Team, Projection, Season Average, Last 5 Average, Matchup Rating, and Trend % — sorting works across all pages of results, not just the ones currently visible

🏆 Standings & Futures Browsing Improved

• Switching to the STANDINGS or FUTURES tab no longer clears the match list — all games remain visible in the left panel so you can reference a specific matchup while browsing the tables
• Group standings now open in the Evidence panel, leaving the Facts card showing the selected match detail untouched
• When you have a match selected and switch to Standings, both teams from that match are highlighted in their group table so you can immediately find their standing

🎌 Team Crests & Country Flags

• National team crests now appear on every match card in the game list and in the lineup panel header
• A small country flag appears next to each team name — on the opposite side of the crest — in both the match list and the lineup panel

📅 Match List Navigation Reorganized

• The date label ("ACTIVE CASES", "CASE: YESTERDAY", etc.) and day navigation arrows have moved to the top row of the left panel, above the MATCHES / STANDINGS / FUTURES tabs — the tabs now sit directly above the match list, making the panel flow more naturally top-to-bottom

📋 Events Tab Redesigned as a Readable Timeline

• The match events view has been completely redesigned from a compact three-column grid into a clean vertical timeline that reads top to bottom in chronological order
• Each event now shows a clear text label alongside its icon — "Goal", "Yellow Card", "Substitution", "VAR Decision", etc. — so you never have to guess what happened from the icon alone
• Period dividers appear between halves and extra time so you can immediately see which phase of the match each event belongs to
• Goals display the running score at the moment they were scored, so you can trace how the scoreline evolved across the 90 minutes
• Home events appear on the right side and away events on the left, with clear color coding throughout

📊 Lineup Player Cards — Expanded Stats & Improved Layout

• Player cards in the lineup panel now show a significantly wider range of post-match statistics — tackles won, duels won and lost, touches, fouls committed, and fouls received are now displayed alongside the previously shown goals, assists, shots, key passes, and pass accuracy
• Goalkeepers show a tailored set of stats — saves, goals, key passes, pass accuracy, interceptions, and touches
• The stats layout has been redesigned to match the same compact inline format used in MLB lineup cards — each stat shows its value first followed by a short label, arranged in a three-column grid that packs more information into the same space without feeling cluttered
• All stat slots are always shown on every card, even when the value is unavailable, so every player card has a consistent size and shape regardless of how much data is present
• Player names are now displayed at a larger size for easier reading at a glance
• Team names in the lineup panel header are now larger

🔓 More FIFA Data Now Available on Free Accounts

• FIFA lineups are now available to all users regardless of plan — you no longer need a Pro subscription to see the starting XI and bench for any match
• The shot map and match momentum chart are also now available to all users — these were previously restricted to Elite
• Odds and advanced player props remain Pro and Elite features respectively

🏅 Sport Selector Now Shows League Logos

• The sport selector at the top of the workspace now displays a small logo next to each sport — MLB, NBA, NCAA, FIFA World Cup, and NHL — making the selector easier to identify at a glance

📊 FIFA Match Detail — 7 Data Tabs per Match

• OVERVIEW: Score, formation, goals list, 5 key stat bars (possession, xG, shots, on target, corners), Man of the Match card with rating and reason
• EVENTS: Two-column chronological timeline — away left / home right — goals, yellows, reds, subs, VAR events
• LINEUPS (Pro): Starting XI side-by-side with shirt numbers and positions, bench section below
• STATS: 30+ team stats in 7 sections — Possession & Chance Creation, Shots, Set Pieces, Passing, Defence, Duels
• SHOTS (Elite): Full-pitch SVG shot map with xG dot sizing — goals filled, misses outlined, home vs. away coloring
• MOMENTUM (Elite): Per-minute momentum area chart with home/away fill, half-time marker, and team legend
• ODDS (Pro): Moneyline / spread / total per sportsbook, exotic markets with outcomes, player props grouped by prop type

🏆 FIFA Standings & Futures Odds Views

• STANDINGS view shows all 12 group tables side-by-side — position, P/W/D/L, GF/GA/GD, Points, with advancement indicator
• FUTURES view shows tournament winner odds sorted by best American odds per team, with vendor columns for line comparison
• View mode toggle (MATCHES | STANDINGS | FUTURES) in the left panel header

📊 New: Hit Rate View in the Player Props Panel

• The Player Props panel now has a Hit Rate toggle that switches from the raw odds view to a historical performance breakdown — Instead of just seeing today's line and odds, you can flip to a summary of how often this player has hit each prop type based on their season results. A single button at the bottom of the panel switches between the two views and the panel remembers where you left it.
• Each prop in Hit Rate view receives one of three tags: VALUE, EDGE, or FADE — VALUE marks props where the player hits at a high rate and the line is genuinely favorable. EDGE flags props where the line has a statistical advantage even if the overall hit rate is lower. FADE identifies props where the historical data suggests betting against is the stronger play. The tags make it possible to scan a full player card in seconds.
• A trend arrow shows whether the player is running hotter or cooler than their season average over the last 10 games — An upward arrow means recent form is outpacing the season number. A downward arrow means they've been cooling off. This context matters most when setting lineup priorities for tonight's slate.
• Clicking any prop row in Hit Rate view expands a per-game detail section showing the last 10 results — Each row shows the date, matchup, the line the player was facing, and whether they hit it. The results are paginated so the panel stays compact even for players with deep prop histories.

📈 New: Line Movement & Market Insight in the Player Props Panel

• A Line Movement section now appears in Hit Rate view showing how each prop line has shifted throughout the day — A small chart for each prop type illustrates the movement from the opening line to the current number. A line ticking up or down before game time is a signal that sharp money or late information has come into the market.
• When DraftKings and FanDuel lines move in the same direction, a Consensus Shift banner appears — This highlights cases where the major books are agreeing on a directional move, which tends to carry more weight than a shift at a single book. The banner shows the magnitude of the move at both books.
• Market Insight blocks summarize what the engine reads from the combined prop and movement data for that player — These short notes translate the numbers into plain language — for example, calling out when a pitcher's strikeout line is being pushed up by the market despite recent fatigue trends.

🎯 New: Milestone Props Now Visible in the Player Props Panel

• Milestone-style props — bets on a player to achieve a specific outcome rather than beat a line — now appear alongside standard over/under props — Examples include a batter to hit a home run at a given price, or a pitcher to record a win. These are displayed as distinct gold-tinted buttons within the same prop type section so they stand apart from the over/under lines without requiring a separate view.

🔢 Improved: Suspects List Expanded with Page-by-Page Navigation

• The SUSPECTS tab in the FACTS card now shows up to 30 suspects for ELITE members and up to 10 for PRO members, up from a fixed 7 for everyone — The increase means you can see the full depth of what the engine has flagged for a game rather than a truncated preview.
• Suspects are shown 7 at a time with previous and next arrows in the tab header — The navigation appears automatically when there are more than 7 suspects to display, letting you page through the full list without the panel growing unwieldy. The page resets whenever you switch games or toggle between DFS and Props modes.

✨ Improved: Hover Highlights on Player Cards and Lineup Sections

• Individual player cards in the EVIDENCE panel now highlight subtly when you hover over them — The same interaction style used on action buttons (Matchup, Props, Profile) now extends to the entire card, making it visually clear which player you're about to interact with before you click.
• Hovering over a team's section header in the EVIDENCE panel now applies a soft highlight to the entire team roster block — This reinforces the visual grouping and gives the panel a more responsive feel as you move between the away and home sides.
• Suspect cards in the FACTS panel received the same treatment — Mousing over any suspect row now applies the same subtle highlight that already existed on action buttons, making the list feel consistently interactive throughout.

⚾ New: MLB Game Cards Now Show a Contextual Edge Panel

• MLB game cards now display a dedicated Contextual Edge panel in place of the Upset Probability bar, which is an NBA-only concept — The new panel is powered by a 16-factor engine that reads pitching matchups, recent form, bullpen fatigue, park factors, weather, lineup construction, and betting market movement to produce a directional read on each game.
• Each game receives a mode badge — CONFIRM or LEAN — shown in green or amber respectively — CONFIRM means multiple strong signals are pointing in the same direction. LEAN means there is a directional edge but fewer supporting factors. The color coding makes it immediately clear how much conviction is behind the read.
• A Contextual Edge rail shows the engine's probability split between the two teams — The dot on the rail is green for CONFIRM and amber for LEAN, consistent with the badge, so the entire panel reads at a glance without having to check individual elements.
• A Market Edge Shift gauge shows how much the betting line has moved since open — The shift is expressed in percentage points (pp) with a positive or negative label. When the number is positive the label appears above the bar; when it is negative it appears below, so it never overlaps with the section heading.
• Supporting factors are shown as a row of colored dots next to the mode badge — Each dot represents one factor the engine detected. The more dots, the more evidence is behind the call. Dots shade from light to full amber as the count grows, giving a quick visual sense of signal density.

📸 New: MLB Player Photos in the FACTS / SUSPECTS Tab

• Suspect cards in the FACTS panel now show the player's headshot on the left side of the card for MLB games — The photo sits in a square frame and occupies the same vertical space as the team logo and sparkline to its right, giving each card a clear visual anchor without taking up extra room.
• This applies to both DFS suspects and betting prop suspects — Whichever mode you have selected, photos appear for players where an image is available. A silhouette placeholder fills in automatically when no photo exists.

📸 New: MLB Player Photos in the EVIDENCE / LINEUP Panel

• Every batter and starting pitcher card in the EVIDENCE panel now shows the player's headshot — The photo sits in the top-left corner of each card next to the batting order position and fielding position, so you can identify players at a glance rather than reading names alone.
• Starting pitcher cards received the same treatment — The SP label and handedness indicator sit to the right of the photo, with the pitcher's name and statistics below spanning the full card width.

🃏 Improved: Lineup Card Layout Redesigned for Better Readability

• Batting order position and fielding position now share the same row as the player photo — Instead of stacking everything in a single column with the photo floating to the left, the top row holds the photo and the positional metadata together, so there is no empty space beneath the photo.
• The player's name now appears on its own dedicated row below the photo row — Previously the name and the batting average shared the same line, which caused the name to get truncated on smaller screens. The name now has the full card width to itself.
• The batting average appears on its own row beneath the name, right-aligned — Separating the average from the name keeps both readable on mobile without either value being squeezed. The right-aligned position mirrors how averages were previously shown inline.
• The full statistics grid now spans the entire card width below the name and average rows — Season stats (OBP, SLG, HR, RBI, etc.) and game stats (H, 2B, HR, RBI, etc.) take up all available horizontal space, making every number easier to read at a smaller font size.

🧹 Improved: Game Card Clean-Up

• The sequential game index numbers that appeared in the top corners of each game card have been removed — The numbers (#1, #2, #3…) were a carry-over from an internal ordering system and did not convey meaningful information to users. Cards are now cleaner without them.

🎨 Improved: Darker Background & Larger Lineup Card Typography

• The workspace background is now noticeably darker and less blue-tinted — The new tone is closer to pure dark, matching the visual weight of the original BlowOutAlert workspace more closely and reducing eye strain in low-light environments.
• Player names inside lineup cards are larger and easier to read at a glance — The previous size was too small relative to the surrounding stat information. Names are now proportionally bigger across both NBA and MLB lineup views.
• Team names in the lineup header are now displayed at a larger size — Both the full team name and the record sub-line beneath it have been bumped up so the team identity reads clearly before you focus on the individual cards.
• Stat numbers and labels in lineup cards are now more legible — The main stat value (points, ERA, innings pitched) is now larger and bolder. Sub-stat values and their unit labels are both slightly larger, so the full stat grid is readable without squinting. The batting average shown next to a player's name has also been increased in size.

🔐 Improved: Subscription & Sign-In Prompts Replace Red Error Messages

• Tools that require a PRO or ELITE subscription now show a proper upgrade screen instead of a red "Failed to load data" message — When you open a tool your current plan doesn't include, you'll see the familiar upgrade prompt with your required tier clearly labeled, instead of an error that looked like something broke.
• Tools that require you to be signed in now show a sign-in prompt instead of a red error — If you're not logged in and try to open a gated tool, you'll see a clean "Sign in required" message with a brief explanation. No more red error text that implied a system failure.
• This applies across all tools: Signals, Batting Signals, Slate Stacks, Streak Board, Value Plays, DFS Ranking, Slate Summary, Hit Rate, Quarter Scorers, and First Team Scorers — Every tool now handles access restrictions gracefully.

📤 New: EVIDENCE Section Export — CSV & JSON Download

• The EVIDENCE panel now has an export button that lets you download the current lineup as a CSV or JSON file — Click the icon to open a small dropdown and choose your preferred format. The file downloads immediately with the game matchup and date in the filename.

📊 Improved: Game Selection Persists When Switching Stat Tabs in Signals

• In NBA Signals and MLB Batting Signals, the game filter you've selected now stays in place when you switch between stat categories — Previously, switching from PTS to REB (or from H to HR) would reset the game filter back to showing all players. Now the selected game is remembered and the filtered view carries over immediately to the new stat tab.

📱 Improved: FACTS and LINEUP Tabs Require a Game Selection on Mobile

• On mobile, the FACTS and LINEUP tabs in the bottom tab bar are now disabled until you select a game — If you tap either tab before picking a game from the CASES list, a brief "Select a game first" notification appears and the tabs stay on the games view. Once you select a game, both tabs become fully active. This prevents the empty-state confusion of arriving at a blank FACTS or LINEUP panel with no context.

🔔 Improved: Notifications Now Appear in the Bottom-Right Corner

• Toast notifications — the brief status messages that confirm actions or surface warnings — have moved from the top-right corner to the bottom-right — This keeps them out of the way of the navigation bar and workspace controls, so a notification appearing while you're selecting a game no longer obscures the top of the screen.

🔍 Improved: Suspects — Value Color & Sparkline Now Match the Badge

• In the SUSPECTS tab of the FACTS card, the projected value (for example, the prop line "1.5") is now colored to match the suspect's badge — A STRONG badge makes the value green. A FADE badge makes it red. A WATCH badge makes it amber. Previously the value was always white regardless of the rating, making it harder to absorb the signal at a glance.
• The sparkline chart behind each suspect now also matches the badge color correctly for all three tiers — STRONG was already green and FADE was already red, but WATCH was incorrectly drawing in blue. It now draws in the same amber as the badge.

⚾ New: MLB Is Now the Default Sport for New Users

• First-time visitors and users who haven't set a sport preference now open the workspace on MLB instead of NBA — Returning users continue to land on whichever sport they used most recently, as that preference is saved automatically.

🖥️ New: All Tools Now Open as Floating Windows

• Every tool in the Tools section now opens as a free-floating, draggable, and resizable window instead of navigating away from the workspace — You can now have the Slate Summary open while still watching game cards update in real time, or keep the DFS Rankings visible while browsing player profiles. Each tool window stays out of the way until you need it.
• Drag any tool window by its title bar to position it exactly where you want on screen — Grab any edge or corner to resize it. Multiple windows can be open at once and stack independently by click order.
• Pressing Escape closes the topmost window without disturbing anything underneath — If you have a player profile and a tool open at the same time, Escape always closes the one on top.
• On mobile, all tool windows open as a full-screen bottom sheet — Sliding up from the bottom of the screen, the same way the player profile works on small screens.
• This applies to every tool: DFS Rankings, Slate Summary, Value Plays, Slate Stacks, Player Signals, Batting Signals, Quarter Scorers, First Basket, and Hit Rate — All are now accessible without leaving the main workspace.

📊 Improved: Slate Summary — Four Tabs, Game Selector & Stack Rankings

• The Slate Summary is now organized into four tabs: BREAKDOWN, EDGE, OVERVIEW, and STACK — Each tab focuses on a different lens for reading the day's slate.
• BREAKDOWN lets you select any game from a pill bar at the top and shows a full deep-dive for that game — Spread, total, win probability, pace, rest, key injuries in a three-column grid, and player tags (CORE / VALUE / FADE) also in a three-column layout, so you can scan the full picture without scrolling.
• EDGE highlights the games the engine identifies as worth targeting or avoiding — For NBA: mismatch games where you should fade role players, and tight games where you should stack studs. For MLB: high and low run environment games, plus the best stacking opportunity and toughest pitching matchup on the slate.
• STACK ranks every game on the slate by stack potential and shows a heat rating for each — HOT, WARM, or COOL based on a composite score that factors in the game total, blowout risk, spread tightness, and pace (NBA) or run environment (MLB). The score and a color-coded progress bar make it easy to sort your attention.
• The game status in the BREAKDOWN tab now displays cleanly — Scheduled games previously showed the raw system label. They now display simply as SCHEDULED.

💰 Improved: Value Plays — Ratio Badges, Vendor Awareness & Cleaner Table

• Each player in Value Plays now carries a ratio badge that grades the strength of the edge at a glance — STRONG (1.30× or higher), MOD (1.15×–1.29×), or SLIGHT (1.00×–1.14×). The badge is color-coded green, yellow, or gray so you can quickly filter your eyes to the best edges without reading every number.
• Value Plays now updates automatically when you change your betting market in the top bar — Switching from FanDuel to DraftKings (or any other market) now refreshes the player list to reflect the lines and odds for that specific book. Previously the list stayed unchanged until you manually reloaded the tool.
• The Hit% column now shows the correct value — A display bug was inflating every percentage by 100× (showing 8000% instead of 80%). The numbers now reflect the actual historical hit rate for each player on this prop type.
• Column widths are now fixed and proportional — The player name column was previously consuming all available space regardless of window size. All columns are now balanced so the Ratio, Hit%, Odds, and other columns always have room to breathe.

🥞 Improved: Slate Stacks — Game Selector & Full Pitcher Detail

• Slate Stacks now has the same single-select game pill bar as the Slate Summary BREAKDOWN tab — Click any game to instantly switch to that matchup's stack card. No more paging through all games one at a time.
• Each stack card now shows a full two-column pitcher section — Away and home starters side by side, each with ERA, WHIP, and a weakness label that grades how hittable that pitcher is: Vulnerable, Suspect, Average, or Sharp. Knowing which arm is easier to attack is core to building a stack, and this information is now visible at a glance without opening a separate profile.
• Stack recommendations and key batters appear below the pitcher section — The recommended batters show batting order position, season average, at-bats per game, and a platoon advantage badge when applicable.

📈 Fixed: NBA Slate Summary Now Shows Spread, Total & Win Probability

• The BREAKDOWN tab in the Slate Summary now correctly displays the spread, game total, and win probability for NBA games — These fields were showing as blank dashes when DraftKings lines hadn't been loaded for a given slate. The engine now pulls from whichever betting market has data available for that game, so the numbers appear reliably regardless of which book seeded first.

🏀 Fixed: NBA Upset Probability Now Surfaces More Near-Upset Games

• The threshold for displaying an Upset Probability bar on NBA game cards has been lowered slightly — Games that were on the cusp of qualifying — where the underdog had a genuine shot but the bar wasn't appearing — now show correctly. The change means more competitive matchups will surface the upset indicator rather than silently passing it over.

🆕 New: Completely Rebuilt Workspace

• BlowoutAlert has been rebuilt from scratch as a fully modern platform — Every part of the workspace — from how data loads to how the interface responds — has been redesigned and rewritten. The result is a faster, more reliable, and more visually polished experience across all devices.
• The new workspace is live and running alongside the original — Both versions are accessible during this transition period. The v2 workspace is the primary going-forward platform and will receive all new features first.

🎨 New: Three-Panel Layout

• The workspace is now organized into three distinct panels: CASES, FACTS, and EVIDENCE — CASES shows the day's game slate with odds and context. FACTS shows the analysis for whichever game you've selected — suspects, case breakdown, DFS rank, and four-factor data. EVIDENCE shows the lineup for that game, including official box score results for completed games.
• On desktop all three panels are visible at once — No switching or scrolling required. On tablet, the game list slides in as a drawer. On mobile, a tab bar at the bottom lets you jump between panels.

📋 New: EVIDENCE Panel — Official Game Stats for Completed Games

• When viewing a game that has already been played, the EVIDENCE panel now shows actual box score results for every player — Points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, field goals made and attempted, three-pointers, turnovers, plus/minus, and minutes. No more estimated averages — you see exactly what each player did.
• The panel header automatically updates to reflect what you're looking at — OFFICIAL LINEUP for completed games with real stats, EXPECTED LINEUP for upcoming games where lineups are predicted based on historical patterns.
• MLB evidence works the same way — Pitcher lines (innings, strikeouts, earned runs, walks, hits, pitch count) and batter lines (hits, doubles, triples, home runs, RBI, runs, walks, strikeouts, stolen bases) are all shown for completed games.

🔍 New: FACTS Card with Multiple Analysis Tabs

• Selecting a game opens a full analysis card with tabbed sections — The CASE tab explains what's interesting about the matchup: quality rating, key positives and negatives, and the overall verdict. The SUSPECTS tab shows which players the engine flagged for DFS or props, with confidence indicators for each. The RANK tab shows a DFS-specific player ranking for the slate.
• NBA and NCAAB games include a Four Factors tab — Showing effective field goal percentage, turnover rate, offensive rebound rate, and free throw rate for both teams side by side, plus contextual benchmarks.
• Confidence is now shown as a horizontal bar indicator beneath each suspect's matchup context — Five bars fill from left to right based on how strong the signal is, color-coded from neutral through strong.

🛠 New: Tools Section

• A dedicated Tools section is now accessible from the top navigation — It houses all slate-level analysis screens that were previously harder to find. Each tool is available based on your subscription tier.
• Available tools include: DFS Ranking, Slate Summary, Streak Board, Signals, Batting Signals, Slate Stacks, Value Plays, Quarter Scorers, First-Team Scorers, and Hit Rate — Each screen is filtered to the sport you currently have selected, so you only see what's relevant.

🌗 New: Light Mode

• A full light mode is now available and can be toggled from the top bar — Your preference is saved and restored on your next visit. The light theme uses a carefully adjusted color palette so every badge, bar, and status indicator remains legible.

📊 New: Upset Probability Bar Now on MLB Game Cards

• MLB game cards now show an Upset Probability bar, the same way NBA and NCAAB cards do — For every game where one team is a clear market underdog, the bar shows the estimated probability that the underdog wins, adjusted for baseball-specific context beyond what the odds alone imply.
• The same contextual signals carry over from NBA — home field advantage, rest and travel, win-loss records, hot and cold streaks, and key injuries — plus two signals unique to baseball: starting pitcher ERA and pitcher fatigue. When the underdog's starter carries a meaningfully lower ERA than the favorite's, that's a real upset lever the market doesn't always fully price in. If the favorite's starter is also coming in on short rest or with a high recent pitch count, the underdog's probability gets an additional bump on top of that.
• Hover the bar to see a full breakdown of every factor — The tooltip shows the market base probability, each adjustment, and the final number. Green lines pushed the underdog's chances up; red lines pushed them down.
• When the adjusted probability exceeds 50%, the bar pulses with a yellow glow — A visual flag that the model sees this underdog as a genuine upset threat worth considering before locking in your lineup.

🎯 Improved: Props Suspects Now Use the Pre-Game Prop Line — Not the Live One

• The prop line used to identify suspects is now locked to the value posted before the game began — Sportsbooks continue updating player prop lines once a game is underway — for example, a home run prop can jump from 0.5 to 1.5 after a player hits one in the second inning. Previously, the suspects engine would evaluate players against that live-adjusted line rather than the line that was available at game time. It now uses the original pre-game line, which is the correct benchmark for DFS decisions made before first pitch.
• The same fix applies to the Hit Rate tracker — Historical prop hit rate is now calculated against the pre-game closing line for each game going forward, so the accuracy numbers reflect the line you could actually have bet on, not a number that shifted after the outcome was already unfolding.
• This applies to both MLB and NBA — The pre-game line is captured at first seed and never overwritten, regardless of how many times the feed updates afterward.

🎯 Improved: Props Suspects No Longer Recommend Heavily Juiced Lines

• Any prop carrying odds worse than -400 in the recommended direction is now excluded from the suspects list — A -500 or -1000 line means the market already treats the outcome as near-certain, leaving no meaningful edge to extract. Showing these props as "suspects" was misleading — the value isn't there regardless of how strong the projection looks.
• The Hit Rate tracker also filters out these over-juiced markets from historical results — Props like a -1600 doubles line were inflating the hit rate percentage without reflecting any real predictive value. Removing them gives a more honest picture of how the model performs on bets you'd actually want to make.
• This applies to both MLB and NBA props — If a prop in either sport carries extreme juice in the direction being recommended, it's skipped entirely. Props with no odds data on file are unaffected.

🎨 New: MLB Contextual Edge Panel — Two Rails, One Gauge

• The Projected Winner display on MLB game cards has been completely redesigned — Instead of a single bar, the engine now shows two confidence rails side by side: the Book Market rail showing where the opening odds put each team, and the Contextual Edge rail showing where the engine lands after analyzing all available factors. The gap — or alignment — between the two knobs tells the story instantly.
• A Market Edge Shift gauge beneath the rails shows the engine's net conviction — A knob sitting right of center means the engine found extra reason to back the market favorite beyond what the price implies. Left of center means it found counter-signals. The further from center, the stronger the divergence.
• Confidence tiers now label the strongest calls — When the engine's confidence clears a meaningful threshold, it labels the situation: CONFIRMED EDGE, HIGH CONFIDENCE, or ELITE MATCHUP. These only appear on CONFIRM-mode calls — never on LEAN or NO CALL.

🎨 New: Factor Count Badge Is Now Color-Coded by Signal Strength

• The number next to the alignment badge now uses color to tell you how stacked the signals are — 1–2 supporting factors shows in gray (light signal), 3–4 in blue (moderate), 5–6 in gold (strong), and 7 or more in a bold red-to-gold gradient (elite-level signal stack). At a glance you can see whether the engine's call rests on a single edge or a full convergence of factors.
• Alignment labels (STRONG, MODERATE, WEAK, MINIMAL) are now displayed in uppercase — Making them easier to scan quickly next to the factor count.

📊 Improved: Projected Winner Now Starts From What Vegas Actually Believes

• The Projected Winner engine now uses the betting market's own opening probability as its starting point, instead of treating every game as a coin flip — Previously, every game started at 50/50 and contextual factors like starting pitcher quality, rest, and injuries moved it from there. Now the engine starts at whatever the market implied before first pitch — if Vegas opened the home team at 62%, the engine starts at 62% and factors adjust from there. The market has already done the heavy lifting on public information; the engine's job is to find what it may have missed.
• CONFIRM badges are now genuinely meaningful — CONFIRM used to fire whenever the engine agreed with Vegas and had a strong signal. Now it only fires when the contextual factors push the engine's confidence materially beyond what the market itself implies. A CONFIRM badge means the engine found a real reason to be more confident than the price suggests — not just that it agrees with the bookmakers.

🩹 Fixed: Injured and IL Players No Longer Show Up in Batting Signals

• Players on the 10-Day IL, 15-Day IL, 60-Day IL, suspended, or otherwise unavailable are now excluded from the Batting Signals player pool — Previously, only players explicitly listed as "OUT" or "OUT FOR SEASON" were filtered out, which meant IL players could still appear in recommendations. Now only players actively eligible to play — probable, questionable, or day-to-day — are included. This applies to both MLB and NBA Batting Signals.

🩹 Fixed: IL Players No Longer Appear in the EVIDENCE Expected Lineup

• When the app predicts a batting order before official lineups are posted, it now skips any player currently on an IL designation — A player on the 10-Day IL should never appear as a projected starter. The previous filter was too narrow and let IL players through. The expected lineup now only considers players the team can actually put on the field.
• Injury status badges now appear on player cards in the MLB Expected Lineup — Each player card in the EVIDENCE section now shows their current injury designation (OUT, DTD, IL) the same way NBA lineup cards do, so you can spot any status flags at a glance without opening a separate player profile.

💾 New: Your Selected Sport Is Now Remembered Across Sessions

• The last sport you used (MLB, NBA, or NCAAB) is now saved and automatically loaded the next time you open the app — If you spend your evening on the MLB view, the workspace opens on MLB the next morning without you having to switch. Changing sports updates your saved preference immediately.
• MLB is now the default for new users and cleared sessions — If no preference has been saved, the app opens on MLB.

📅 Improved: Switching Sports Now Loads the Right Slate Automatically

• When you switch sports, the app now finds the most relevant slate instead of carrying over the date you were looking at — If you were browsing last Wednesday's NBA games and switch to MLB, it no longer tries to load MLB games for that same Wednesday. It starts fresh: first checking today and the next seven days for upcoming scheduled games, then — if the sport is in the off-season or between slates — searching backward up to four months for the most recent games. You always land on something real.

📱 Fixed: MLB Player Profile HIT RATE and VS. PITCH Tabs Now Work on Mobile

• The HIT RATE and VS. PITCH tabs in the MLB player profile now load their content correctly on phones and tablets — On mobile browsers, these two tabs were showing a blank screen after the loading spinner. The issue was a browser animation timing quirk on mobile that prevented the tab content from becoming visible. Both tabs now render their data reliably across all devices and browsers.
• Both tabs now load their data in the background as soon as the player profile opens — Instead of waiting until you tap the tab, the data fetches immediately so it's ready the moment you switch to it. No more waiting for a spinner on the second tap.
• Tables in these tabs are trimmed on small screens to show only the most essential columns — On screens under 600px wide, lower-priority columns are hidden automatically so the table stays readable without horizontal scrolling.

⚾ New: MLB Pitcher Movement Profile Tab

• A new MOVEMENT tab is now available in the MLB pitcher profile — Powered by Statcast pitch-level data, the tab shows a full breakdown of each pitch type the pitcher threw this season: average velocity, spin rate, induced vertical break (IVB), horizontal break (signed arm-side/glove-side), and release extension. Each pitch type needs at least 10 tracked pitches to appear.
• An interactive polar movement chart sits below the stats table — Each pitch type is plotted as a dot on a 2D grid where the vertical axis represents rise vs. drop and the horizontal axis represents arm-side vs. glove-side break. The chart uses real Statcast signed horizontal movement so the dots land on the correct side of the plate — a sweeper breaks left, a cutter breaks right, and a four-seamer sits high.
• Hovering a row in the table or a dot on the chart highlights both simultaneously — The hovered pitch type's dot enlarges, a spoke line extends from the center, and the stat readout shows IVB and HB values inline. Hovering a table row highlights the matching dot, and hovering a chart dot highlights the matching row. The interaction is fully bidirectional.
• The chart adapts to both light and dark themes — Background, grid rings, axis lines, and direction labels all use CSS custom properties so the chart looks clean in either color scheme without any hardcoded colors.
• Season switcher works the same as other tabs — You can switch between seasons using the year selector at the top of the modal, and the movement data reloads automatically. Available to PRO and ELITE subscribers.

🎨 New: EVIDENCE Card Loading Overlay

• When you select a new game, the Expected Lineup card now shows a frosted loading overlay instead of going blank or jumping in size — A blurred glass panel with a spinner and the matchup label (e.g., "NYM @ ATL") appears over the existing content while the new lineup data fetches, then fades out once the card is ready. The card stays the same size throughout — no collapse, no reflow, no flash of empty space.

🩹 Fixed: Clicking Radar Buttons No Longer Loads the Game

• The Add / Remove buttons for moneyline, spread, and total on each game card now work without accidentally selecting the game — Previously, clicking any of those buttons would also trigger a full game load in the FACTS and EVIDENCE sections. The click handler now correctly ignores those buttons so your Radar action registers and nothing else changes on screen.

🖼️ New: MLB Player Profile Photos

• Player photos now appear in the MLB player profile modal — Each profile displays the player's official headshot in the top-right corner of the bio panel, matching the same size and transparency style used for NBA player photos. The image fades into the background at 40% opacity so the stats remain easy to read.
• Photos are pulled directly from the official MLB Stats API CDN — The headshots use the same player IDs that power Baseball Savant and the MLB app, so photos are always current and cover the entire active roster. Players without a photo on file display nothing rather than a broken image or placeholder.
• A one-time backfill matched 1,212 out of 1,235 players (98%) to their official MLB Stats API ID — The remaining players are mostly duplicate records or very recently called-up minor leaguers whose IDs are not yet in the public database. New players will be matched automatically as the roster seeder runs.

📊 Improved: Projected Winner Now Only Shows When the Engine Trusts Its Own Call

• The Projected Winner bar now stays silent when the engine disagrees with the book — After reviewing a full month of results, we found that when the engine picks a different winner than what the betting market implies, it's right about 2% of the time. That's not a signal worth showing. The engine is now honest about when it doesn't have an edge and withholds the prediction entirely.
• When the engine agrees with the book, accuracy is 99% — The Projected Winner bar is genuinely reliable when both the engine's factors and the betting market point to the same team. That combination is the only situation where showing a prediction adds real value.

🔇 New: NO CALL Indicator Replaces Blank Space

• Games where the engine disagrees with the book now show a dimmed "NO CALL" label instead of leaving a blank gap — This makes it clear the engine intentionally abstained from a prediction rather than having missing data. Hovering shows a brief explanation: the engine saw conditions pointing one way while the market priced the other team — and historically, the market wins that argument almost every time.

📐 Fixed: Book Favorite Bar and Projected Winner Now Always Agree on Who the Book Favors

• The two bars on each game card now use the same source to determine which team the book is backing — In edge cases where the betting line and the moneyline pointed in opposite directions due to odds movement, the Book Favorite bar could show one team while the engine treated the other as the book's choice. Both bars now read from the same signal, so "NO CALL" always means what it looks like — the engine's pick conflicts with the team the Book Favorite bar is also showing as the market favorite.

📊 New: Projected Winner Bar on MLB Game Cards

• MLB game cards now show a Projected Winner bar — It considers all available context and projects whichever team the conditions favor, whether that's the market favorite or the other side. Both teams start completely even and the factors alone decide who comes out on top.
• Home field, rest advantage, win-loss record, hot and cold streaks, key injuries, starting pitcher ERA, and pitcher fatigue all feed into the projection — The team that accumulates the most edge across those signals is the projected winner.
• A CONFIRM or OVERRIDE badge tells you whether the projection agrees with the book — CONFIRM (blue) means the factors reinforce what Vegas is saying. OVERRIDE (orange) means the factors point to the other side — conditions the market may be undervaluing. When the signal isn't strong enough to call it either way, the bar shows LEAN in gray.
• Hover the bar to see the full factor breakdown — The tooltip shows every edge found, which team it benefits, and the final projected win percentage.

📐 Improved: Projected Winner Probability Is Now a Soft Curve

• Win probability now compresses naturally at the extremes instead of scaling linearly — The engine previously used a straight multiplier, which could push projections unrealistically high when multiple strong signals pointed the same way. It now uses a soft curve (tanh) so that each additional edge still moves the number, but with diminishing returns. A team genuinely stacked with advantages will still show a 68–70% projection — but no single outlier factor combination will inflate the display beyond what the data actually supports.

⚠️ Improved: Injury Weight Now Reflects the Player's Role

• A starting pitcher scratch now carries significantly more weight than a position player injury, which carries more than a reliever absence — Previously all key injuries were treated the same. In baseball, losing the day's starter is the most disruptive event possible — the entire pitching plan changes. Losing a lineup bat is meaningful but recoverable. A reliever injury matters far less for a single game. The engine now weights each type accordingly, making projected winner probabilities more accurate when injuries are involved.

🔗 New: Cascade Risk When SP Goes Short and Bullpen Is Strained

• When a team's starter typically exits early and their bullpen has been heavily used in recent days, the engine now adds an extra edge to the opponent — A starter who regularly gives up fewer than 4.5 innings already flags as a short-outing risk. But when that team's relievers are also running on fumes from the previous series, the two problems compound each other into a real scoring opportunity. The projection now captures this cascade scenario as an independent signal, on top of the individual SP and bullpen factors.

🃏 Improved: MLB Game Cards Are Now Cleaner

• Quality rating stars have been removed from MLB game cards — The star rating system was built around NBA and NCAAB game dynamics and was never meaningful for baseball. Removing it gives MLB cards a cleaner, less cluttered layout.
• Card spacing is now balanced top and bottom — MLB game cards now have the same breathing room above the team logos as they do below the betting odds area. The left and right padding are also equal on all screen sizes.

🔥 New: Run-Environment Glow on MLB Game Cards

• MLB game cards now visually signal how hitter-friendly each game environment is — HOT games (high run potential based on total, park, pace, and spread) get a red-orange pulsing border. WARM games get an amber glow. Low-scoring environments get no glow. At a glance you can see which games are the best stacking opportunities before opening any modal.

⚠️ Improved: KEY INJ Badge Is Now Much More Accurate for MLB

• The KEY INJ badge now only appears for players who were actually starting recently — Previously the badge could fire for bench players or deep roster pieces that teams had already adjusted around. Now it only flags batters who appeared in the lineup (slots 1–9) or pitchers who were listed as the probable starter within the last two weeks. If a player wasn't starting, their absence isn't a meaningful lineup disruption.
• Short-term IL placements are what trigger the badge, not season-ending injuries — Players on the 60-Day IL, suspended, or otherwise long removed from the active roster are excluded. The badge is reserved for injuries the opposing team hasn't fully priced in yet.
• The injury tooltip now shows the IL status instead of a usage percentage — For MLB, the tooltip displays the player's name and their current designation (e.g., "Player (10-Day IL)"), which is more meaningful than a usage stat in a baseball context.

📊 Improved: Upset Probability Now Considers More Real Signals

• Regular-season head-to-head record now factors into playoff upset probability — If the underdog won more than 60% of their regular-season matchups against this opponent, their upset probability gets a meaningful boost. Winning more than 75% gives an even larger boost. The market alone doesn't always reflect who actually performs better in this specific matchup.
• Key injuries to the favored team now push the upset probability up — When a star player (20%+ usage) on the favorite is out, the underdog's chances increase accordingly. Each additional key injury stacks the adjustment, capped at a reasonable ceiling.
• Pace and style mismatch is now a factor — If the two teams play at significantly different tempos, the underdog gets a boost. A big pace differential creates an unpredictable game environment that can neutralize a favorite's advantages.
• The upset probability ceiling has been raised — Previously the display was capped at 49% even when multiple strong signals pointed higher. The cap is now 65%, so when the data genuinely suggests the underdog is a coin-flip or better, the number reflects that.

💡 New: Hover the Upset Probability Bar to See Why

• Hovering over the Upset Probability bar now shows a full factor breakdown — The tooltip lists every signal that was considered: the market base probability, each adjustment (home court, rest advantage, series score, H2H record, key injuries, pace), and the final adjusted number. Green values pushed the underdog's chances up; red values pushed them down. The tooltip appears below the bar so it doesn't obscure the card above it.

✨ New: Upset Probability Card Glows When the Underdog Is Favored by the Model

• When the adjusted upset probability exceeds 50%, the entire Upset Probability card pulses with a yellow glow — The same visual alert used for the Key Injuries card and the KEY INJ badge, signaling that this game deserves a second look before assuming the market favorite wins.

🏆 Fixed: Playoffs PROS Card No Longer Says "Locked in Playoff Race"

• During the playoffs, the PROS section on the Case tab now shows series-specific context instead of regular-season language — Previously the card could say "Both teams locked in a playoff race" even during an active playoff series. It now correctly reflects the series situation — elimination games, closeout games, and Game 7 scenarios each get their own framing.

⚠️ Improved: KEY INJ Badge on Game Cards Now Glows

• The KEY INJ badge on game cards now pulses with a yellow glow — Consistent with the Key Injuries card on the Facts Card Case tab. The badge already only appears when a player with 20%+ usage is out, so the glow is always meaningful.

🌟 Improved: Key Injuries Card Glows When a Star Is Out

• On the Facts Card Case tab, the Key Injuries card now pulses with a yellow glow when any listed player has 20% or higher usage — A quick visual signal that the injury situation is significant enough to affect your lineup decisions, not just a minor role player update.

📊 Improved: Projected Winner Dominance & Upset Probability Bars Are Now Consistent

• Both bars are now the same height and the label columns on the right are a fixed width — Previously the Projected Winner Dominance bar was taller, and text labels of different lengths caused the bars to render at unequal widths.
• Both bars now animate filling in from left to right when a game card loads — A smooth reveal animation replaces the static appearance, making the values easier to register at a glance.

🔧 Fixed: Minutes Opportunity Badge No Longer Overlaps Other Badges

• On the Suspects and Props tabs of the Facts Card, the minutes opportunity badge now shows only the extra minutes (e.g. "+0.6 min") without a projected total — The projected total was causing the badge to overlap adjacent badges on certain player cards.

🏀 New: NBA Player Signals Modal

• A brand-new Player Signals tool is now available for NBA — Access it from the trending arrow button in the NBA toolbar. It works the same way as the MLB Batting Signals tool but is built entirely around NBA stats.
• Seven stat tabs: PTS, AST, REB, BLK, STL, 3PM, and MIN — Each tab ranks today's slate players by projected output for that category, using a weighted blend of their last 5 games and season average.
• Opponent defensive rating shown for every player — A 1–10 score indicates how permissive the opposing team's defense is, so you can quickly spot favorable and unfavorable matchups at a glance.
• Signal badges surface the most actionable plays — Each player is tagged: Elite Spot, Rising, Risky, Consistent, Value, or Blowout Risk, based on trend, matchup strength, and statistical variance.
• Sparkline trend chart, L5 average, and season average — The same rich context columns from the MLB version, now for NBA.
• Game filter badges let you narrow down by matchup — Click any game above the table to filter results to just that matchup. Multi-select is supported and your selection persists as you switch stat tabs.
• Paginated table (10 players per page) with sortable columns — Click any column header to re-sort. Export to JSON or CSV is available from the header dropdown.
• Player names are clickable and open the full NBA player profile — One click from the signals table opens game log, advanced stats, and role analysis for that player.
• On days with no games, the tool automatically looks ahead — If there are no games today, the modal shows the next available slate (up to 4 days out) so the tool is useful on off-days.

🎯 New: Game Filter on MLB Batting Signals

• A row of game badges now appears above the player table in the MLB Batting Signals modal — Click any game (e.g. LAA @ DET) to instantly filter the table to only players from that matchup. Select multiple games to compare across them. Your selection stays active as you switch between stat tabs (HITS, HR, RBI, etc.) so you don't have to re-apply the filter every time.

👤 New: Open Player Profile Directly from the Radar

• Player names in the Radar are now clickable and open the full player profile — Clicking a player's name launches their NBA or MLB profile modal (depending on the sport of the entry) with game log, advanced stats, and role analysis. Names are underlined to indicate they're interactive.

🏷️ Improved: Signal Badges Redesigned for Consistency

• All signal badges in the Batting Signals table are now the same size and rectangular — Previously, badges like "Rising" and "Pitch Edge" appeared as different widths and pill-shaped, making rows look uneven. They are now uniform in width, rectangular, and spaced apart so multi-badge rows are easy to scan at a glance.
• Hovering a badge now shows a proper tooltip with full context — Instead of a plain browser tooltip, badges now use the app's custom tooltip system for a consistent look across all modals.

📄 Improved: STACK Tab Is Now Paginated in Slate Summary

• The STACK tab in both the NBA and MLB Slate Summary modals now pages through games 5 at a time — Previously the full game list was displayed as one long scroll. Navigation controls match the style used throughout the rest of the app.

🃏 Improved: Slate Stacks Modal Shows Fewer Stacks Per Page

• The Slate Stacks modal now shows 2 stacks per page instead of 3 — Each stack card contains a lot of detail, so the tighter page size makes the view easier to read and reduces scrolling.

🃏 Improved: Game Card Rest & Injury Badges Display Side by Side

• The rest badge (e.g. "1D REST") and key injury badge now appear on the same line rather than stacking vertically — The layout is more compact and easier to read at a glance when a team has both indicators active.

📈 New: Bounce Back Badge on Key Suspects (NBA & MLB)

• A "Bounce Back" badge now appears on suspects who are in a cold streak but facing a favorable matchup — When a player's last three games are significantly below their season average and the matchup looks good, the badge surfaces them as a regression candidate. It's a quick way to spot players who may be due for a correction without digging into their recent game log yourself.
• Available in both DFS and PROPS mode, for NBA and MLB

⚠️ New: Script Conflict Badge on MLB Suspects

• A "Script Conflict" warning badge now flags when a prop pick fights the game script — For example, taking a pitcher's strikeouts OVER when the over/under is high enough to suggest a shortened outing, or fading a batter on a team that's a heavy favorite. The badge shows the specific reason so you can decide whether to trust the edge or pass.
• Visible on suspect cards in both DFS and PROPS mode

🔔 Improved: Value Plays Panel Refreshes Automatically When New Data Arrives

• If you have the Value Plays panel open, it reloads automatically when updated data is available — No need to close and reopen it to see fresh rankings. The panel detects the update and refreshes in place.
• If the panel is closed, a notification banner lets you know new value plays are available — A brief toast message appears so you don't miss a data update even when the panel isn't open.

🔧 Fixed: Date Navigation Is More Reliable When Clicking Quickly

• Rapidly clicking the previous or next day arrows no longer causes stale data to load — Clicks are now debounced and any in-flight request for a previous date is cancelled when you navigate again. You always land on the date you intended with the correct data.

📅 New: Schedule Difficulty Rating in Player Profile

• A new SCHEDULE tab in the NBA player profile modal shows a 7-day difficulty bar for upcoming opponents — Each game is scored 0–100 based on opponent defensive rating, win percentage, and opponent field goal percentages. Games are labeled HARD, MED, or EASY with a color-coded bar, and an average difficulty badge summarizes the full stretch at a glance.

📉 New: Minutes Distribution Alert on Lineup Cards & Key Suspects

• Players whose minutes have dropped 20% or more over their last three games now get a "📉 MIN" flag — The badge appears directly on predicted lineup cards and as a "Min Alert" signal in the Key Suspects panel, with the exact percentage drop shown in the tooltip. A quick way to avoid locking in a player whose role may be shrinking.

🔥 New: Game Stack Heatmap in Slate Summary

• A STACK tab has been added to both the NBA and MLB Slate Summary modals — Games are ranked by stackability score (total, game environment, spread tightness, pace) with 🔥 HOT, 🟡 WARM, and 🔵 COOL heat labels. Helps you quickly identify which games are most likely to produce multi-player DFS value before you build your lineups.

🃏 New: Parlay Builder on the Radar

• You can now build a parlay directly from your Radar without leaving the modal — Click the Parlay button in the Radar header to enter parlay mode. Check any active props you want to combine, and a footer instantly shows your leg count, combined American odds, and implied probability. Hit Copy Parlay to get a formatted text summary for any sportsbook.

📱 Fixed: All Modals Now Scroll Correctly on Mobile

• Several modals — including lineup, injury, slate summary, hit rate history, and team info — were not scrollable on mobile devices — All modals now respect the viewport height on touch devices and scroll their content correctly, matching the behavior that the player profile modal already had.

⚾ New: MLB Pitcher Arsenal Tab in Player Profile (PRO/ELITE)

• A new ARSENAL tab appears in the MLB player profile modal for pitchers — Shows each pitch type the starter throws, along with usage %, whiff rate, batting average against, and wOBA. Stats are color-coded so it's immediately clear which pitches are plus offerings and which ones batters handle well. The tab only appears for pitchers — batters see a different tab instead (below).

🏏 New: MLB Hitter vs. Pitch Type Tab in Player Profile (PRO/ELITE)

• A new vs. PITCH tab appears in the MLB player profile modal for batters — Shows how the hitter performs against each pitch type they've seen this season: BA, SLG, wOBA, whiff rate, and chase rate. Helps you quickly spot whether a batter crushes sliders or struggles against breaking balls before checking their matchup against tonight's starter.

🎯 New: Pitcher Arsenal Panel in the MLB Matchup Modal (PRO/ELITE)

• Pitch arsenal pills now appear beneath each pitcher's stats row in the MLB Pitching Matchup modal — Each pill shows the pitch type, usage %, and whiff rate. Pills are color-coded by whiff rate: green for elite (≥30%), yellow for average, red for hittable. Hovering reveals BA, zone %, and chase % for that pitch. Silently omitted if no data is available — the modal looks the same for free-tier users.

⚾ New: Pitch Edge & Pitch Risk Badges on Batting Signals & Key Suspects

• A "⚾ Pitch Edge" or "⚠️ Pitch Risk" badge now appears on batters whose wOBA profile aligns — or clashes — with tonight's opposing pitcher's arsenal — The badge is calculated by weighing each pitcher's pitch usage against how that batter has historically performed against that specific pitch type, compared to the league average. A score above +0.030 wOBA earns the green Pitch Edge badge; below −0.030 earns the amber Pitch Risk. Hover the badge for the per-pitch breakdown.
• Appears in both the Batting Signals table and the Key Suspects panel

🎯 New: Pitch Mix Shift Alert on Key Suspects

• A purple "🎯 Mix Shift" badge flags when tonight's pitcher has significantly changed their pitch mix recently — If a starter's usage on any pitch type has shifted 15+ percentage points over their last three starts compared to their season average, the badge surfaces it on every batter suspect they face. For example: "Mix Shift: SL +18pp" means the pitcher is leaning much harder on their slider lately — relevant for K upside or batter risk depending on how that lineup handles breaking balls.

👁 New: Add PROPS Suspects Directly to Your Radar

• An eye icon now appears on every PROPS suspect card, right before the prop label — Clicking it adds that prop line to your Radar in one tap. The icon glows purple to confirm the prop is being tracked, and clicking it again removes it. No need to navigate away from the suspects list to start monitoring a line.
• The highlight stays in sync across sessions — If you return to the suspects panel after navigating away, any prop already in your Radar shows the eye icon highlighted so you can see at a glance what you're already tracking.
• Available for both NBA and MLB — The same eye icon and Radar behavior works in the PROPS suspects tab across both sports.

💰 New: Odds Now Display for Player Props in the Radar

• The ODDS column in your Radar now shows the actual line price for player prop entries — Previously, only game-line picks (spreads, totals, moneylines) showed odds. Player props added from the PROPS suspects list now display the corresponding over or under price from your selected sportsbook, giving you a full picture of the expected value of each entry you're tracking.
• Stolen bases and other milestone-style props show their correct odds — These props are structured differently by sportsbooks — they have a single anytime odds value rather than a traditional over/under price. The Radar now correctly surfaces that value so you can evaluate the bet at a glance.

🚫 Improved: Props from Completed Games Can No Longer Be Added to the Radar

• Clicking the eye icon on a PROPS suspect from a finished game now shows a warning instead of adding it — There's no value in tracking a line after the game is over. The app now checks the game's status before adding and blocks the action with a clear message if the game has already ended. Removing an existing entry is still allowed at any time.

💾 Improved: DFS / PROPS Mode Selection Is Now Remembered

• Switching between DFS and PROPS in the Key Suspects tab now persists across page loads — Previously, the tab always opened on DFS regardless of what you last selected. Now it opens on whichever mode you used last, so you don't have to switch every time you come back to the app.
• Works for both NBA and MLB — Each sport remembers its own last-used mode independently.

🔍 Improved: PROPS Suspects Now Filtered by Your Selected Sportsbook

• Key Suspects in PROPS mode now shows only lines from the sportsbook you have selected — Previously, the engine could surface a mix of prop lines from different books, making it hard to know which line you were actually getting at your book. Now the list is filtered to your active sportsbook, so every edge shown corresponds to a line you can act on.
• Changing your sportsbook selection while PROPS is open refreshes the suspects list — Switch books from the toolbar and the suspects update immediately to reflect that book's lines.

📚 New: Sportsbook Selector in Hit Rate History — PROPS Mode

• A sportsbook selector appears in the Hit Rate History modal when PROPS mode is active — Choose from FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, BetRivers, or Caesars to see historical hit/miss results using lines from that specific book. The active book is highlighted and results reload automatically when you switch.
• The sportsbook icon replaces the "Book:" text label — A clean open-book icon now sits beside the selector buttons, making the controls look consistent with the rest of the interface.
• Available for both NBA and MLB Hit Rate panels

⚡ Improved: Hit Rate History Auto-Opens Your Preferred Mode

• If you last had PROPS selected in the Key Suspects tab, the Hit Rate modal opens directly on PROPS — No more switching modes manually every time. The modal reads your saved preference and activates the matching tab immediately on open, so you land straight in the view you care about.

🔍 New: HIT / MISS Filter in Hit Rate History

• Two filter pills now appear below the hit percentage summary in Hit Rate History — Click HIT to see only the props that came in, or MISS to review the ones that didn't. Click again to clear the filter and return to the full list. The pagination adjusts automatically to reflect the filtered count.
• Available in both NBA and MLB Hit Rate panels

📈 New: Odds Column in Hit Rate History — PROPS Mode

• A new Odds column appears in the Hit Rate History table when PROPS mode is active — Each row now shows the over or under odds that were available for that prop line at the time, color-coded to match the pick direction. This lets you quickly see which historical hits came at the best prices and identify patterns in where the value tends to cluster.
• Available for both NBA and MLB

📐 Improved: Multi-Column Layout Adapts Better at Every Screen Size

• Column layouts now switch at smarter breakpoints — The 3-column and 4-column workspace templates now collapse to narrower layouts at wider viewport widths than before, so content stops looking cramped before you're forced to resize. The transition to fewer columns happens earlier and more gracefully.
• The 3-column layout no longer produces an empty column — At intermediate screen sizes, the layout previously placed panels in the wrong order, leaving an empty gap in the second column. The Games and Facts panels now always appear side-by-side on the first row, with Lineup and Leaderboards spanning the full width below them.
• Content no longer gets cut off at the edges of narrow columns — Cards that couldn't fit inside a narrow column used to overflow and clip. Game cards, betting lines, and dominance indicators now wrap and compress gracefully so nothing is hidden regardless of how many columns are active.

🔲 Improved: FACTS Card Tabs Now Use Icons with Tooltips

• The CASE, SUSPECTS, RANK, and FACTORS tab labels have been replaced with icons — The text labels previously took up a disproportionate amount of space in the tab bar. Each tab now shows a clean icon instead, keeping the header compact and leaving more room for analysis content.
• Hover any icon to see its name — Moving your cursor over a tab icon shows a tooltip with the tab's label so there's no guesswork. The tooltip appears right next to the icon and follows your cursor position accurately.
• Tooltip positioning is now precise on all pages — Tooltips throughout the app were occasionally appearing far from the element you hovered — typically near the top of the viewport when the page was scrolled. This is fixed: every tooltip now appears directly beside the element that triggered it.

🏀 Improved: Key Suspects Now Prioritizes Active Starters

• Bench players no longer push starters out of the Suspects list — The engine that surfaces Key Suspects in both DFS and PROPS mode now scores confirmed starters higher than players coming off the bench. If a rotation player has strong stats but is starting tonight, they rank ahead of a bench player with similar numbers. The result is a list more focused on players actually in the starting lineup.
• Lineup evidence no longer shows empty cards for inactive players — The lineup comparison panel previously rendered placeholder cards for players marked as inactive or not in the rotation. Those gaps are now hidden, so the lineup view only shows players who are actually suiting up.

📱 Fixed: FACTS Card Inner Sections Stretch Full Width on Mobile

• Pros, Cons, and Notes cards now fill the screen on mobile — On smaller screens, the analysis panels inside the CASE tab — Pros, Cons, Notes, Team Trends, and O/U Hit Rate — were rendering at a fixed narrow width instead of expanding to fill the viewport. They now stretch to 100% width on mobile so you get a proper reading experience without horizontal scrolling.
• Suspects cards also expand to full width on mobile — The same fix applies to suspect cards in the Key Suspects tab. Whether you're in DFS or PROPS mode, each suspect card now fills the full width of the screen on a phone or narrow tablet.

🔧 Improved: Toolbar Buttons Are Now Compact Icon-Only Controls

• Toolbar action buttons no longer show text labels — The row of action buttons at the top of each panel now displays only icons, making the toolbar cleaner and less cluttered. Each icon is larger and easier to click.
• Hover any toolbar icon to see what it does — A tooltip appears when you move your cursor over a button, so the purpose of each action is always one hover away without permanently consuming space in the interface.

🏀⚾ Improved: Sport Selector Is Larger and More Informative

• NBA, MLB, and NCAAB selector buttons are noticeably larger — The sport-switching buttons have been scaled up by about a third, making them easier to tap on touch screens and quicker to reach on desktop.
• Sport icons have been updated to use familiar emoji — The NBA and MLB buttons now use the basketball and baseball emoji respectively, which are more universally recognizable than the previous custom icons.
• Hover a sport button to see its full league name — Moving your cursor over a sport button shows a tooltip with the full name of the league — for example, "National Basketball Association" — positioned below the button so it never overlaps the label.
• Sport order updated to NBA → MLB → NCAAB — The buttons are now arranged in the same order as general audience interest, with the two professional leagues first.

📅 New: Upcoming Button to Jump Back to Today's Games

• A new "Upcoming" button appears between the date navigation arrows when you're viewing a past date — Instead of clicking the next-day arrow many times to get back to today's or tomorrow's scheduled games, you can tap Upcoming and jump directly to the next date with games on the schedule.
• The button is hidden when you're already on the current or upcoming date — It only appears when it's useful, keeping the navigation clean by default.

🏀 New: NCAAB Shows Last Available Game When the Season Is Over

• Switching to NCAAB during the off-season no longer shows an empty schedule — Previously, selecting NCAAB after March Madness ended would display a blank games panel with no context. The app now automatically looks back and loads the most recent game available — typically the championship — so there's always something to review.

📊 Improved: Betting Odds Values Are Now Right-Aligned

• All betting line values are now consistently aligned to the right — SPREAD, MONEYLINE, TOTAL, WIN PROB, and IMPLIED values now share a consistent right-aligned layout. The labels have a fixed width and the values line up in a clean column, making it much easier to scan and compare numbers across rows.

👁 Improved: Watch Icon Makes Monitoring More Discoverable

• An eye icon now appears on betting line buttons before the value — Previously, you had to know to click the number itself to add it to your Radar. The eye icon makes it immediately clear that these values are interactive and monitorable.
• The same eye icon appears next to player names in the Value Plays panel — Hovering over a player name in Value Plays now reveals the eye icon, signaling that clicking opens their player profile for deeper analysis.

🏷️ Improved: Team Logos Show Full Team Name on Hover

• Hovering over any team logo now shows the team's full name — Instead of showing a browser-default tooltip with just the abbreviation or short name, team logos across game cards and lineup panels now display the complete team name — for example, "Cleveland Cavaliers" or "New York Knicks" — using the same polished tooltip style used throughout the app.

✏️ Improved: Text Sizes Are Larger and Easier to Read

• Player names, team headers, suspect names, and win-loss records are all slightly larger — Several text elements in the lineup panel, CASES card, and game cards were using font sizes that were too small relative to surrounding content. All have been bumped up to improve legibility without disrupting the layout.

🔇 Fixed: Quality Star Rating No Longer Shows a Popup on Hover

• Hovering over the star rating on a game card no longer opens a detailed popup — The popup that appeared when mousing over the stars was redundant with the analysis already visible in the CASES panel. The stars now simply display the rating without triggering additional overlays.

⚡ Fixed: Scrollbar No Longer Flashes During Content Transitions

• A brief scrollbar flicker when loading CASES card and lineup card content is now gone — When analysis content loaded or switched tabs, a vertical scrollbar would appear for a split second before disappearing. The animation now completes cleanly without any scrollbar appearing mid-transition.

⚾ New: MLB Value Plays — PRO Feature

• Value Plays is now available for MLB — The same tool that surfaces DFS value in NBA is now available for baseball. It identifies today's batters whose recent performance exceeds their current prop line, ranked by how much their average exceeds the line and how often they've historically hit it.
• Seven prop categories to explore — Switch between Hits, Total Bases, Home Runs, RBI, Strikeouts, Runs, and Pitcher Strikeouts using the tab bar at the top of the panel. Each category reloads instantly.
• Works the same as the NBA version — Same ratio scoring, same hit rate display, same Radar integration, same export options. Add any player-prop combination to your Radar with the eye icon and monitor it from the Radar panel.
• Available to PRO and ELITE subscribers — Free accounts see an upgrade prompt instead of results.

💡 Improved: Active Tool Buttons Glow When Their Panel Is Open

• Toolbar buttons now show a green highlight while their panel is open — Previously there was no visual indication of which tool panels were open, making it easy to lose track. The button for any open panel — DFS Ranking, Value Plays, Streak Board, Hit Rate, and others — now glows green so you always know what's active at a glance.
• The highlight clears automatically when you close the panel — No manual state to manage. The moment a panel is dismissed, its toolbar button returns to its default appearance.

🔀 Improved: Sportsbook Selector Is Now a Multi-Book Toggle

• The market selector has been redesigned from a dropdown to a pill toggle with all major sportsbooks — Instead of a small select box tucked into the CASES card header, you can now choose from FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, BetRivers, Caesars, and Fanatics using a clean toggle sitting directly below the tool buttons. The active book is highlighted in green so it's always visible at a glance.
• The toggle appears in both NBA and MLB views — Switching sports carries your market selection over automatically, and the toggle updates to reflect the active choice in each sport's toolbar.

📋 New: NBA Slate Summary — Daily Game Intelligence at a Glance

• A new Slate Summary panel gives you a full picture of the day's NBA slate in one place — Open it from the toolbar to see a slate-wide overview, per-game breakdowns, and DFS edge analysis organized across three tabs: OVERVIEW, BREAKDOWN, and EDGE.
• Each game shows game script, win probability, blowout risk, and key injuries — All the context you need to evaluate a matchup is surfaced in one compact card without having to open individual game panels.
• An overtime probability badge appears when the spread is tight and blowout risk is low — If conditions favor a close game, a badge estimates the likelihood of overtime so you can factor it into your lineup decisions.
• CORE, VALUE, and FADE player tags are based on the last 5 games only — Recommendations reflect recent form and usage, excluding players with limited minutes or those no longer in active rotations. Tags are displayed in a clean three-column layout.
• Available to all users — no subscription required

🎯 Improved: Open Panels Now Compete for Focus with Active Window Depth

• Clicking or dragging any open panel instantly brings it to the front — When multiple panels are open at the same time, the one you interact with rises above the others automatically. No more hunting for a panel buried behind another one.
• The active panel shows a subtle indigo accent line at the top — A faint colored border and soft shadow indicate which panel is currently in focus, making it easy to track your active workspace at a glance.
• Inactive panels step back slightly — Panels that are open but not in focus dim just enough to reinforce the depth hierarchy without being distracting.

🔧 Fixed: DFS Ranking Panel Resize and Scroll Now Work Correctly

• The DFS Ranking panel now scrolls and resizes the same way as all other panels — The content area previously used a fixed height that broke the resize handle and produced an unexpected scrollbar. It now uses the same flexible layout as every other resizable panel in the app.

⚾ New: MLB Slate Summary — Free for All Users

• A full slate intelligence panel is now available for MLB — Open it from the MLB toolbar to see a slate-wide overview, per-game breakdowns with pagination, and edge analysis across three tabs: OVERVIEW, BREAKDOWN, and EDGE.
• Each game card shows the run line, over/under total, win probability, rest days, injury impact, run environment, extra innings likelihood, pitching matchup, and DFS impact notes — All the context you need for a game is in one place without opening individual panels.
• A run environment badge replaces the blowout risk badge from the NBA version — High-scoring environments are highlighted in green, low-scoring in red, making it easy to identify stacking opportunities at a glance.
• CORE, VALUE, and FADE player tags are based on Total Bases per game over the last 5 games — Recommendations reflect recent form, scored with the baseball-specific stat most relevant to DFS.
• Available to all users — no subscription required

🔧 Fixed: Date Navigation Loads the Correct Day

• Refreshing the app no longer drops back to yesterday's games — When games from the previous day were still marked as active, the app would silently revert to that date every time you refreshed, even after manually navigating forward. This is now resolved — once you navigate away from a past date, the app stays where you put it.
• The Next arrow now reliably advances to the following day — After the fix above, pressing Next from yesterday's games correctly moves to today instead of snapping back to the same date.
• The Upcoming button now correctly lands on today when today has games — Previously it would skip today and jump to tomorrow. It now checks today first and only looks ahead if today has nothing scheduled.

🏥 New: NBA Injury Impact Score — Key Injury Badges on Game Cards

• Game cards now flag teams with impactful injuries before you open anything — When a player who averages 20% or more of their team's shot attempts is listed as Out, a red ⚠ KEY INJ badge appears directly under the team logo on the game card. You see the injury risk at a glance without clicking into the matchup.
• Full breakdown inside the Facts card — Opening the Evidence tab on any game with key injuries shows a dedicated 🏥 Key Injuries section. It lists each affected player by name, their out status, and their season usage rate — so you understand exactly how much offensive load is missing from that team's rotation.

⚾ New: MLB Pitcher Fatigue Score

• Every starting pitcher now has a fatigue rating — A 0–100 score computed from days of rest and pitch count in the last start. Labels are Fresh, Normal, Elevated, and Fatigued, each shown with a distinct color so you can read the workload situation without digging into box scores.
• Visible in Batting Signals next to the matchup rating — The fatigue label appears in the Matchup column below the 1–10 pitcher rating. Hover for the exact days-rest count and last-start pitch count that produced the score.
• Also shown in the MLB Matchup Analysis modal — Both the home and away pitcher panels now include a fatigue pill alongside ERA, WHIP, K%, BB%, and HR/9 — giving you the complete picture of how each pitcher is actually feeling heading into today's game.

⚡ New: Betting Line Movement — DK + FD Consensus Shift Alerts (ELITE)

• Get alerted when both major books move the same line in the same direction — When DraftKings and FanDuel both shift the same player prop by 0.5 or more within a one-hour window, a purple ⚡ DK + FD Consensus banner appears inside the prop detail panel. This pattern typically indicates sharp money or a significant piece of news has hit.
• Per-vendor deltas shown on the banner — The alert displays exactly how much each book moved the line, so you can gauge the strength of the signal. A half-point move at one book is noise; the same move at both simultaneously is worth attention.
• Available in both NBA and MLB prop panels — Consensus shift detection works across sports. Any active prop line with synchronized movement at both books will surface the alert in the player's prop detail view. Available to ELITE and Admin subscribers.

⏱ New: Minutes Projection Cascade — Injury-Aware Playing Time Estimates (NBA)

• The DFS Rankings tab now shows projected minutes, not just historical averages — A new Proj Min column appears in the DFS RANK view. When a teammate is Out and their average minutes qualify, those minutes are redistributed to same-position active players in proportion to usage rate. Players who stand to gain appear with a green +N superscript showing the bonus.
• Key Suspects badges show the exact minutes opportunity — In both DFS and PROPS mode, any suspect who benefits from a teammate's injury now shows a purple ⏱ +Nmin (M proj) badge. The label tells you the bonus minutes expected and the resulting projected total, calculated from the actual injured player's season average and the group's usage split.
• Realistic distribution across the whole position group — Minutes aren't handed to a single player. They're spread across every active player in the same position group on the same team, capped at 8 bonus minutes per player, so the projections reflect how coaches actually manage load when a rotation player sits.

🗂️ Improved: Multi-Window Layout — Panels Now Cascade Instead of Stacking

• Opening multiple panels no longer buries them behind each other — Every new window you open now appears offset 30px right and 30px down from the previous one. Whether you have player profiles, prop panels, or board views open at the same time, you can see all of them without manually dragging them apart first.
• The window limit prompt is now draggable and resizable — When you reach your plan's open window limit, the notification dialog behaves like every other panel: you can move it anywhere on screen and resize it to fit your layout.

📊 Improved: Facts Card Tabs Now Open to All Users

• Key Suspects now shows for free and signed-out users — Previously, unauthenticated users saw a generic error in the Suspects tab instead of any content. Free and signed-out users now see the top suspect for each game. PRO users see up to 3, and ELITE and Admin users see all 7. An upgrade prompt appears below the visible suspects so you know what you're missing.
• The RANK tab is now accessible without an account — DFS projected rankings for every player in a selected matchup are now visible to all users. Free users see the top 2 players, PRO users see 6, and ELITE and Admin users see the full list with an upgrade prompt below the cutoff.
• Player names in the RANK tab are now clickable — Clicking any player's name in the DFS rankings opens their full player profile — game log, advanced stats, role breakdown, injury history, and more.
• The FACTORS tab (NBA) and CASE tab (MLB) are now accessible without an account — Four-factor efficiency stats for NBA matchups and full MLB game analysis (run environment, pitcher breakdowns, stack recommendations) no longer require a sign-in to view.

🏀 Improved: Matchup Breakdown — Richer Play Style & Advantage Data

• Play Style section now includes pick-and-roll and isolation tendencies — The BREAKDOWN tab's Play Style breakdown now shows how often each player operates as a pick-and-roll ball handler, as a roll man, and in isolation per game — giving you a more complete picture of how they actually generate offense before you look at the matchup.
• Player Advantage now shows an Opportunity Score and neutral context — In addition to positive and negative matchup signals, the Player Advantage section now displays a numeric Opportunity Score summarizing the overall matchup quality, plus a neutral context column covering factors like pace and overall defensive efficiency that don't clearly favor either side.
• Matchup Advantage table expanded with zone defense detail — The Matchup Advantage table now includes rim protection score, rim field goal percentage allowed, midrange defense, three-point percentage allowed, pick-and-roll defensive rating, and isolation points allowed per possession for the opposing defense — the same data points that inform the narrative signals above the table.
• Player Advantage and Matchup Advantage now fully populated for all players — Both sections previously showed very limited signals for a large portion of players. Pace impact, defensive rating, turnover pressure, three-point defensive tendencies, and rim protection quality now appear consistently across every player in the system, not just a subset.

🔧 Fixed: Dialog Polish & Homepage Widget Reliability

• Matchup Breakdown and Matchup Analysis panels no longer show a scrollbar — Both panels now size to their content up to a maximum height and scroll internally without a visible scrollbar interrupting the layout.
• Matchup Analysis cards now match the Breakdown panel spacing — Padding and margins inside the Matchup Analysis dialog are now consistent with the Matchup Breakdown layout, so the two panels feel like they belong to the same design system.
• Player Profile ROLES tab no longer overflows horizontally — The role distribution grid in the ROLES tab now clips and wraps correctly at any window size without triggering a horizontal scrollbar.
• Homepage and dashboard game widgets now detect late tip-off games — Conference Finals and other games tipping at 8:30 PM Eastern or later were not appearing in the Upcoming Game widgets due to a timezone boundary issue. This is now resolved and all scheduled games for the day display correctly regardless of tip time.
• MLB hit rate results now use authoritative total bases data — Total bases outcomes in the Hit Rate history are now read directly from the official stored value rather than being recomputed from component fields, eliminating edge cases where an API discrepancy could produce an incorrect result count.

⚾ Improved: Slate Stacks — Pitcher Weakness Score

• Each pitcher card now shows a color-coded weakness rating — Slate Stacks evaluates every starting pitcher using a blended score that combines their season ERA with their last five starts. The result is a single label — Vulnerable, Suspect, Average, or Sharp — displayed as a badge next to the pitcher's stats so you can read the targeting opportunity at a glance.
• Recent form is weighted alongside the full season — The score puts 60% weight on season ERA for stability and 40% on the last-five-start ERA for recency, then factors in walk rate and strikeout rate from those recent outings. A pitcher who has been getting knocked around lately will rate weaker even if their season numbers look fine.
• Top batters are re-ranked to reflect who they're actually facing — Batters on the stack side now score higher when their opposing pitcher is rated Vulnerable or Suspect. This means the top three names listed on each card are the ones with both a handedness edge and the most exploitable pitching matchup available on the slate.

💰 New: Value Plays Board (NBA — PRO+)

• Find the lines where you have a real edge — The new Value Plays board in the NBA toolbar ranks today's slate players by how much their last 15-game average sits above their posted prop line. The bigger the gap, the higher they rank — no manual digging required.
• Shows the book you actually use — The board pulls lines from whichever sportsbook you have selected in your workspace settings. The title updates automatically — "FanDuel Value Plays" or "DraftKings Value Plays" — so you always know which numbers you're looking at.
• Hit rate shown alongside the edge — Each entry displays how consistently the player has exceeded that specific line over their last 15 games, so you can separate a true edge from a stat that happened to be inflated by one big night.
• Switch between stat categories — Filter by Points, Rebounds, Assists, and more from a tab bar at the top of the board. The ranking updates instantly for each category.
• ELITE subscribers get more results — Additional pages are available to ELITE and Admin subscribers so you can see deeper into the slate beyond the top tier.

⚾ New: Slate Stacks (MLB — PRO+)

• Every game on today's slate, ranked by how good the run environment is — The Slate Stacks board in the MLB toolbar evaluates all of today's games and sorts them from the most attractive offensive environment to the least. The game at the top is where the conditions most favor batters.
• Run environment badge on every game — Each game card shows whether the projected environment is High-Scoring, Moderate, Average, or Pitcher-Dominated — a quick read before you go any deeper.
• Which side to target and why — When the analysis identifies a clear lean, it flags which team's batters have the offensive edge and shows the gap between the two sides. Specific callouts explain the reasoning: weak pitcher ERA, lineup power, or favorable totals.
• Both starting pitchers at a glance — ERA and WHIP for each starter are shown on the card so you immediately know what batter conditions look like from both sides of the matchup.
• Top 3 batters per game surfaced automatically — Below the pitcher breakdown, the three most attractive batters from the favored stack side are listed with their batting average and at-bats per game. A green badge highlights any batter who has a handedness advantage against tonight's opposing pitcher — left-handed batter facing a right-handed pitcher, or the reverse.

📊 New: vs LHP / vs RHP Splits at a Glance

• MLB player profiles now show handedness splits right in the bio panel — Without clicking into any tab, you can see at a glance how a batter performs against left-handed pitchers versus right-handed ones. AVG, OBP, SLG, and plate appearances are shown for each side.
• Pitchers show the same thing from their side — For starting pitchers, the sidebar shows ERA, strikeouts, and innings pitched against left-handed and right-handed batters separately — so you can immediately see whether a pitcher has a platoon vulnerability.
• Updates automatically when you switch seasons — The handedness stats reflect whichever season you have selected in the profile. Switching from 2025 to 2024 updates them along with everything else.
• Most useful when evaluating a specific matchup — If tonight's pitcher is a lefty and your target batter has a .340 AVG vs LHP this season, that edge now shows up before you even open the Splits tab.

📊 MLB Batting Signals — All Players Now Visible Before Lineups Are Posted

• Players no longer disappear from Batting Signals when lineups haven't locked yet — Previously, a player had to be in a confirmed posted lineup to appear in the Batting Signals panel. Now all players on today's slate are included from the start of the day. Batting order position fills in automatically once the official lineup is released.

🏷️ MLB Key Suspects — Prop Type Names Are Now Readable

• Prop categories now show full names instead of abbreviations — Suspect cards used to label prop types with raw shorthands: H, BB, SB, R, K. They now display as Hits, Walks, Stolen Bases, Runs, and Strikeouts. No more guessing what the abbreviation stands for.

🔧 Fix: Stolen Base Unders No Longer Over-Surfaced

• Thin stolen base data no longer generates misleading under recommendations — Stolen bases are a low-frequency stat, and players who haven't attempted one recently were getting flagged as strong under picks based on too few data points. A minimum sample threshold is now required before any SB under recommendation is surfaced.

📱 Fix: MLB Player Profiles Scroll Correctly on Mobile

• Scrolling inside an MLB player profile on a phone or tablet now works as expected — The profile dialog was clipping content and preventing vertical scrolling on some touch devices. The layout is corrected and all tabs — Game Log, Season Stats, Splits, Hit Rate — are now fully scrollable on mobile.

📊 New: MLB Batting Signals (PRO+)

• A new Batting Signals panel is now available from the MLB toolbar — Opens a draggable, resizable modal next to the Hit Rate button. It shows projected leaders for today's slate across eight batting stat categories: Hits, HR, RBI, Runs, Stolen Bases, Total Bases, Walks, and Strikeouts.
• Projections are weighted toward recent form — Each player's projection blends their last 5 games (55%) with their full-season average (45%), so hot and cold streaks are reflected in the numbers rather than buried under a season-long average.
• Matchup rating shows how hittable the opposing pitcher is — Rated 1–10 based on the starter's ERA and WHIP relative to league average. Green ratings favor batters; red ratings mean a tougher night at the plate.
• Signal badges cut straight to the point — Every player is assigned one of six signals: 🔥 Elite Spot (great matchup + hot streak), 📈 Rising (trending up 25%+ over season average), ⚠️ Risky (high variance, inconsistent output), 💰 Value (solid projection, no red flags), 🚨 Blowout Risk (tough matchup + cold trend), 🧠 High Contact (low variance, consistent production).
• Every column is sortable — Click any column header to re-sort the table by Projection, Season Avg, L5 Avg, Matchup Rating, Trend %, or Signal. Available to PRO, ELITE, and Admin subscribers.

🏥 New: Injury Reports on MLB Evidence (Lineup) Cards

• MLB lineup cards now show a CASUALTY REPORT section — The same injury display that has been on NBA lineup cards is now available for baseball. It appears below the batting order in each Evidence card, listing all players on each team who are currently on the injured list or have a listed status.
• Each entry shows status, injury description, and expected return — Status labels such as Out, Day-To-Day, and Questionable are color-coded. The injury type, affected body part, and return timeline appear alongside the player name.
• Injuries are seeded daily from the live API — A new daily seeder pulls the latest injury data and automatically removes resolved entries so the report only shows currently active injuries.

🚫 Injured Players Excluded from Predictions

• OUT and Out-for-Season players no longer appear in predicted lineups — When the confirmed batting order has not been posted yet, the system predicts the lineup from recent history. Players currently listed as Out or Out for Season are now skipped entirely — only healthy players fill the predicted slots.
• The same filter applies to Key Suspects — Both DFS and PROPS modes of the Key Suspects analysis now exclude injured players from the prediction pool. If an OUT player has active prop lines posted (rare but possible), those lines are ignored.

🔧 Fix: MLB Leaderboards Showing Inflated or Stale Game Counts

• GP counts now reflect actual regular-season appearances only — Two separate issues were inflating the games-played numbers shown in MLB leaderboards. First, spring training games (tagged with the same calendar year) were being counted as regular-season games. Second, the API sometimes returns a previous season's stats under the current year for players who haven't appeared yet — those players were showing hundreds of games played from last year. Both are now corrected.
• Sparklines now pull only from the current season — The last-5-games trend lines in the leaderboard were previously pulling game log data across all seasons. They now correctly show only games from the current regular season.

🆕 More Prop Types Now Covered

• H+R+RBI combos, Runs Scored, and batter Strikeouts are now included — These three markets were previously missing from the MLB PROPS analysis despite being widely available. They're now part of the ranking pool.
• Home Run props are now analyzed — HR milestone props were being silently skipped. They're now fully included and treated as the high-conviction plays they are.
• Pitcher props added to PROPS mode — Pitcher Strikeouts, Outs Recorded, Hits Allowed, Earned Runs, and Walks are now analyzed alongside batter props. If a starter has a strong edge on his strikeout line heading into a lineup he historically dominates, that now surfaces in the PROPS tab.

🎯 Opposing Pitcher Now Adjusts the Edge

• The matchup context actually changes the projected lean — Previously, the opposing pitcher was shown as context but didn't affect the edge calculation. Now it does: a batter with a strong hits average gets a boost against a weak starter and a discount against an elite one. The same edge against different pitchers is no longer ranked the same.
• Home run props factor in pitcher power tendencies — HR props now apply an additional adjustment based on how many home runs the opposing pitcher allows relative to league average, combined with whether the batter has the ISO (power profile) to take advantage. A power hitter facing a fly-ball pitcher gets a meaningful boost.
• Strikeout props adjusted for pitcher K-rate — When a batter's strikeout line is being analyzed, the opposing pitcher's strikeout rate is factored in. Facing a 30% K pitcher lifts the expected K total; facing a soft-tosser brings it down.

📅 Recent Form Weighted More Than Full-Season Averages

• What a player has done in the last 7 games matters more now — Instead of weighting all 20 recent games equally, the engine now blends the last 7 games (55%) with the broader 20-game window (45%). A batter on a hot streak or coming out of a slump is now reflected more accurately in the projections.
• Consistent performers rank above streaky ones with the same edge — A player who reliably hits 1.2 total bases almost every game now ranks above one whose average is the same but swings between 0 and 4. Same edge, more confidence.

🏟️ Batting Order Now Part of the Analysis

• Cleanup and leadoff spots get the opportunity premium they deserve — The 3- and 4-hole hitters see more RBI situations; the 1- and 2-hole hitters generate more runs and stolen-base opportunities. This is now reflected in the projected averages for the relevant prop types. Bottom-of-the-order bats are discounted accordingly.

📊 DFS Mode — Better Differentiation Within the Same Game

• Players in the same game are no longer ranked almost identically — Previously, all batters facing the same pitcher started from the same baseline score, making it hard to distinguish the 4-hole .900 OPS slugger from the 8-hole .640 OPS contact bat. The engine now adds individual batter bonuses based on batting order slot, isolated power, and overall OPS — so the best hitters in a favorable game actually rise to the top.
• Hot and cold streaks now influence the DFS ranking — Batter profiles in DFS mode are now blended with recent game-log data rather than relying solely on full-season statistics. A player in a current slump no longer gets the same score as one who's been raking.
• Pitcher matchup factors are more complete — Several matchup dimensions (ground ball tendency, fly ball rate, hard contact allowed) were previously unavailable and treated as neutral for every pitcher. The engine now estimates these from pitching data it already has, giving you a more complete picture of whether a pitcher truly suppresses or invites hard contact.

✅ Hit / Miss Results on Completed Games

• PROPS suspects now show the actual result for finished games — When you view a completed MLB game in the Key Suspects panel, each PROPS card now shows what the player actually did alongside whether it was a hit, miss, or push on the line. This applies to both batter and pitcher props.
• DFS suspects show the same result format — DFS suspect cards for completed games now display the player's actual box-score line (H/AB, HR, RBI) and whether the DFS pick hit, in the same style as PROPS — so both tabs are consistent.

🔧 Fix: WIN PROB Display Position

• Win probability now appears below the total line — The WIN PROB row in the betting line section of each game card has been moved under the TOTAL line, where it reads more naturally in the flow of game information.

🏟️ New: MLB Team Dialog

• Clicking a team name or logo now opens a dedicated MLB team dialog — The dialog has three tabs: Overview, Roster, and Schedule. It is fully separate from the NBA team dialog, which showed no useful data for MLB teams.
• Overview shows the full standings picture — Season record (W-L), home and road splits, division rank, games behind the leader, current streak, and playoff seed are all displayed at a glance.
• Team leaders are surfaced at the top of the Overview tab — The top batter by AVG, HR leader, RBI leader, and the pitcher with the lowest ERA and most strikeouts are highlighted so you can immediately see who's carrying the team.
• Roster tab lists every active player with season stats — Batters show AVG, HR, RBI, OBP, SLG. Pitchers show ERA, WHIP, K, W-L. The two groups are split into separate tables.
• Schedule tab shows the full season with results and upcoming games — Completed games show the final score; upcoming games show opponent and date. The schedule automatically scrolls to today's next upcoming game rather than the start of the season.

⚾ New: MLB Pitching Matchup Analysis

• Clicking the analytics or matchup icon on any MLB player card now opens a game-level pitching matchup dialog — Previously this showed an error because the NBA player-vs-defense analysis doesn't apply to MLB. MLB now has its own dedicated dialog.
• Both starting pitchers are shown side by side — Each panel shows the pitcher's name, throwing hand, and a full stat profile: ERA, WHIP, K%, BB%, HR/9, and GB%. A recent-form trend indicator appears next to ERA if the pitcher's last three starts diverge meaningfully from his season line.
• Opportunity scores separate pitcher-favorable from batter-favorable matchups — Each pitcher receives a score based on the quality of the opposing lineup. Positive scores indicate a pitcher edge; negative scores indicate a lineup edge. Specific factors are listed as Pitcher Advantages or Batter Advantages so you can see exactly what's driving the verdict.
• Game Stack Analysis section — Below the pitcher panels, a summary shows the overall run environment (High-Scoring, Moderate, or Pitcher-Dominated), the recommended stack side (home or away batters), the Vegas over/under if available, and specific DFS stacking recommendations generated by the engine.

📋 New: MLB Player Profile — Tabbed Layout & Season Switcher

• The MLB player profile dialog is now fully tabbed — Four tabs replace the previous flat layout: Game Log, Season Stats, Splits, and Hit Rate History. Each tab loads independently so the dialog opens fast and only fetches what you actually look at.
• Season switcher lets you browse 2023 through the current year — One click swaps the game log and season stats to any of the last four seasons without reopening the dialog.
• Expanded player bio section — The header now shows position, bats/throws handedness, date of birth and age, height/weight, draft details, MLB service time, and current team — all at a glance before you dive into the tabs.
• Season stats tab covers batters and pitchers separately — Batters see a full slash line plus extra stats like TB and WAR. Pitchers see ERA, WHIP, K/9, QS, holds, and WAR. The layout adapts automatically based on whether the player is a hitter or a pitcher.

📊 New: MLB Player Profile — Splits with Sub-Tab Navigation

• The Splits tab now organizes data into clickable sub-categories — Instead of a long scrolling list, splits are grouped into sub-tabs: Home / Away, Day / Night, By Month, vs. Opponent, Situation, Batting Order, By Count, By Position, Breakdown, and vs. Pitcher Hand. Only categories that have actual data for that player and season appear.
• Labels are now human-readable — Split categories used to display as raw database names like "byBattingOrder" or "byDayNight." They now read as plain English throughout the interface.
• Batter and pitcher splits use separate, purpose-built table layouts — Batters see AB, H, HR, RBI, BB, K, AVG, OBP, SLG, OPS. Pitchers see a separate stat set appropriate for their role.

📈 New: MLB Hit Rate History Board

• A new Hit Rate History board is now available for MLB from the toolbar — Mirrors the existing NBA hit rate board. Shows how often tracked MLB prop types have hit or missed across recent slate dates, letting you spot which prop markets are running hot or cold right now.
• Available in both DFS and PROPS view modes — DFS mode shows composite scores and tier ratings; PROPS mode shows per-prop line versus actual breakdowns. Results are filtered to slates where outcomes are known.
• Available to Elite and Admin subscribers — The button appears in the MLB toolbar alongside the other analysis tools.

📂 Active & History Tabs

• The Radar panel now has two tabs — Active shows the picks you're currently tracking. History shows every pick that has already been settled with its result.
• Archived picks never count against your plan limit — Only active entries use up your PRO (10) or ELITE/Admin (25) slots. Once a game ends and the result is recorded, that entry moves to History and frees up a slot.
• Clear individual history rows — Use the ✕ button on any history row to remove it. Active picks can still be cleared one at a time or all at once with Clear All.

✅ Automatic Pick Results

• Results are filled in automatically — When you reload the app, the Radar checks any picks added more than 4 hours ago against final scores and player stat lines. If the game is over, the pick is settled and moved to History.
• Game lines resolve against final scores — Spread, Moneyline, and Total picks are compared to the official final score for the game. Each is marked HIT, MISS, or PUSH accordingly.
• Player props resolve against box scores — NBA props (points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, 3-pointers, turnovers, and all combos) are checked against the player's actual box score line. MLB props (hits, home runs, strikeouts, RBI, stolen bases, total bases, walks, and more) are checked against the player's game stat line. Milestone picks (e.g. 25+) hit when the player reaches or exceeds the threshold.
• Progress column now shows real results — The Progress cell in each history row displays a green ✓ HIT, red ✗ MISS, or muted PUSH badge instead of the placeholder dash.
• Stale picks are automatically archived — If a pick stays active for 14 days without resolving (e.g. the game data is unavailable), it is automatically moved to History and marked as unresolved so it never blocks your active slots indefinitely.

🔔 Toast Notifications on Settlement

• You get notified when picks settle — Each time the app resolves a pick on page load, a toast notification appears in the corner: green for a HIT, red for a MISS, and blue for a PUSH.
• One notification per pick — If three of your picks settled overnight, you'll see three separate toasts when you open the app the next morning.

📈 Line-Movement Alerts

• Get alerted when a pinned line moves significantly — If you're tracking a game-line pick (spread, total, or moneyline) and the odds shift past the alert threshold after you pinned it, a blue info toast fires automatically in the corner.
• Thresholds are tight — Spread and total alerts trigger on a move of 0.5 points or more from your pinned value. Moneyline alerts trigger on a shift of 10 cents or more.
• No duplicate noise — Each unique line value only triggers one alert per session. If the line moves back and forth around the same number you won't get spammed.
• Works in the background — Odds are already refreshed periodically while the dashboard is open. Line-movement checks happen automatically as part of that refresh cycle — no extra polling, no extra battery.

👁️ New: Player Prop Tracking

• Save any prop pick for quick reference — The OVER, UNDER, and milestone buttons in the player props panel are now Radar triggers. Click any of them to pin that specific pick. Click it again to remove it. The button glows to show it's being tracked.
• Tracks your actual selection, not just the prop — OVER and UNDER on the same prop line are stored as separate entries, so you can track both sides independently if you want to compare.
• Radar opens automatically — As soon as you pin a pick, the Radar panel opens so you can see your entry right away without any extra clicks.
• Works across both sports — NBA and MLB props are tracked in the same list, with sport badges to tell them apart at a glance.
• Only available for upcoming games — Buttons are disabled for games already in progress or finished.

🎮 New: Game Line Tracking

• Spread, Moneyline, and Total are now pinnable — The betting values displayed under each game card are now clickable buttons. Click any value to add it to your Radar. The value glows purple while tracked.
• Both sides tracked independently — Pin the away spread and the home spread separately, or track both Over and Under on a total — each counts as its own entry.
• Disabled for live and final games — Game line buttons dim and become non-interactive once a game has started or ended. WIN PROB and IMPLIED remain read-only and cannot be pinned.

📋 Radar Panel

• Open from the eye icon in the bottom-right corner — Sits next to the AI chat button. Opens a draggable, resizable panel.
• Entries grouped by type — When you have both game lines and player props, they appear in separate labelled sections (🎮 Game Lines / 👤 Player Props) so each is easy to scan.
• See everything at a glance — Each row shows the sport, matchup or player, pick, and odds at the time you added it. A Progress column is also shown and will display live stat tracking in a future update.
• Remove individually or all at once — Use the ✕ button on any row, or hit Clear All in the panel header.
• Live count in the footer — The panel always shows how many plays you're currently tracking.

🔒 Plan Limits

• PRO: Up to 10 tracked entries (player props + game lines combined).
• ELITE & Admin: Up to 25 tracked entries.
• Free accounts cannot use the Radar — an upgrade prompt is shown when you try to add a pick or open the panel.

⚾ New: MLB Key Suspects Now Has a PROPS Tab

• PROPS mode is now available for MLB games — The Key Suspects panel for baseball now has the same DFS / PROPS toggle you're used to in NBA. Switch to PROPS and you'll see the batters with the most meaningful edge against their posted betting lines — ranked by how far their projected average sits above or below the line.
• OVER / UNDER lean with a gauge — Each suspect card in PROPS mode shows the prop type (Hits, Total Bases, HR, RBI, etc.), the current line, the player's projected average based on recent games, and a gauge pointing toward OVER or UNDER to indicate the lean. The size of the edge drives the ranking — biggest edges surface first.
• Opposing pitcher context included — Each card also notes whether the matchup against the opposing starter is favorable, neutral, or negative, so you can see both the statistical edge and the game-day environment at a glance.

🔧 Fix: NBA Prop Lines Now Appear Immediately When Posted

• PROPS suspects no longer stuck on "lines not yet available" — There was a case where the platform would cache a "no lines posted" result and keep serving it even after prop lines had been released by the sportsbooks. The PROPS tab would continue showing the unavailable message until the cache expired on its own. This is fixed — the system now checks fresh the moment lines are posted rather than serving the stale result.

📊 New: Upset Probability Bar on Game Cards

• See how likely an upset is at a glance — Each NBA and NCAAB game card now shows an Upset Probability bar directly beneath the Projected Winner Dominance bar. It tells you what percentage chance the underdog has of winning, displayed as a color-coded bar: gray for long shots, amber for moderate underdogs, orange for real threats, and green when it's close to a coin flip.
• More than just the betting line — The probability isn't simply copied from the odds. It factors in whether the underdog is playing at home (home court advantage), which team has more rest, how close the two teams' records are, whether the underdog is on a winning streak, and whether the favorite has been struggling lately — then blends all of that with the market-implied probability to give you a richer picture.

🔧 Fixes

• DFS and PROPS tabs now show different Key Suspects — Both tabs were returning the exact same list of players regardless of which mode you selected. The PROPS tab is now correctly powered by prop-line edge analysis while the DFS tab continues to use DFS opportunity scoring — so the two lists will differ as intended.
• Playoff Key Suspects no longer blank in early rounds — In the first round of the NBA playoffs, when teams have only played a handful of games, Key Suspects cards were showing a blank stat category (e.g. "POINTS +" with no number) and the PROPS tab was returning no suspects at all. Both issues are fixed — players with a small playoff sample now correctly fall back to their regular-season data rather than producing empty results.

📺 Streamer View — MLB Play-by-Play Redesigned

• Live plays panel now uses the full MLB layout — The play-by-play feed in Streamer Mode for baseball now displays inning-by-inning tabs, at-bat outcome badges (HR, hit, strikeout, walk, error, etc.), and a live linescore at the bottom — matching the detailed layout you get in the full play-by-play modal. Previously it was showing a generic layout that didn't reflect how baseball scoring works.

📊 Streamer View — Actual Game Stats for Past Games

• Player cards now show what actually happened, not averages — When you open Streamer Mode for a game that has already been played, player stat cards now display the real box-score numbers from that game rather than the player's season averages. Season averages continue to appear for upcoming games where no live stats exist yet. This fix applies to both NBA and MLB.

🏆 Key Suspects — Playoff-Aware Analysis (NBA)

• Playoff games now use playoff performance data — During the NBA postseason, the Key Suspects panel automatically switches to analyzing players based on their playoff statistics rather than their regular-season numbers. Playoff basketball is a different environment — tighter rotations, longer minutes, higher pressure — and the analysis now reflects that.
• Gold "PLAYOFF STATS" badge — A gold badge appears at the top of the Key Suspects panel whenever playoff data is being used, so it's always clear what context the analysis is drawing from.
• Graceful fallback for early-round games — If a player hasn't appeared in enough playoff games yet for a reliable sample, the engine automatically falls back to regular-season data rather than producing a thin or misleading result.

📱 Mobile — Dialogs Now Scroll Correctly

• Scrolling inside an open dialog no longer moves the page behind it — On mobile, when you scroll inside any popup window (player profiles, play-by-play, matchup breakdowns, props, etc.) the page content behind it stays put. Only the dialog's own content scrolls. On desktop the existing behavior is unchanged — the background still scrolls as before.

🔧 Fixes

• Key Suspects panel no longer disappears during long sessions — Fixed an issue where the FACTS / Key Suspects panel would vanish after the app had been open for an extended period without a page refresh. Selecting a new game or switching tabs would not bring it back — only a full browser refresh would. The panel now stays visible for the duration of your session.

💰 Player Props for Every MLB Lineup Card

• Open any player's betting markets directly from the lineup — Each player card in an MLB lineup now has a props button. Click it to open a floating window showing that player's available prop lines — hits, home runs, total bases, RBIs, runs, stolen bases, strikeouts (pitcher and batter), and more — across all sportsbooks at once.
• Multiple windows open simultaneously — You can open props windows for several players at the same time and drag them around the screen independently to compare markets side by side.
• Over/Under and milestone props — Both standard over/under lines and milestone props (e.g. "2+ home runs") are displayed where available, grouped by sportsbook so you can quickly spot where the best number is.

📊 Hit Rate Tracker — Pro & Elite

• See how often a player has hit each prop over the season — The Hit Rate tab shows, for every active prop type, how many times the player has gone over the line in their last 25 games — including their last-10 rate so you can spot whether they're trending up or cooling off.
• Value, Edge, and Fade tags — Each prop row is automatically tagged when the data supports a clear lean: VALUE when hit rate and performance both back the over, EDGE when the player is outperforming the line even without a high hit rate, and FADE when the market has been consistently winning.
• Per-game results log — Click any prop row to expand a full game-by-game breakdown showing the line, the player's actual result, and whether it hit — paginated so it never gets unwieldy.

📈 Line Movement Tracker — Pro & Elite

• Track how lines have moved throughout the day — When lines have shifted since they opened, you'll see the opening number, the current number, and the direction of movement for each sportsbook — with a small chart when multiple snapshots are available.
• Sharp move alerts — When multiple sportsbooks have moved a line in the same direction by a meaningful amount, a sharp money signal is flagged automatically so you don't have to watch for it yourself.

🎯 MLB Lineup Cards Now Show Matchup Ratings

• Color-coded matchup icons on every player — The analytics icons on each player card in an MLB lineup are now color-coded based on how favorable their matchup looks. Green means a good spot, red means a tough one — the same system NBA users already rely on, now live for baseball.
• Batters rated against the opposing pitcher — Each batter's rating is calculated from how their hitting tendencies match up against tonight's starting pitcher: strikeout rate, power profile, walk tendencies, handedness advantage, and whether the pitcher has been sharp or struggling lately.
• Starting pitchers rated against the opposing lineup — Probable starters receive their own rating based on how the opposing lineup is constructed: overall offensive quality, how many strikeouts they tend to give up, their patience at the plate, and how much of the lineup bats from the opposite side.
• Works with expected and official lineups — Matchup ratings appear whether the batting order is officially confirmed or predicted — so you can start evaluating matchups from the morning.

🔍 MLB Key Suspects Now Works Before Lineups Are Official

• Suspects load with predicted lineups — Previously, Key Suspects for an MLB game would return empty if the official batting order hadn't been posted yet. The engine now uses predicted lineups when confirmed orders aren't available, so you get actionable targets from the moment you open a game — not just after lineups lock.
• Probable pitchers always reflected — Even when batting orders aren't posted, the engine correctly accounts for each team's probable starting pitcher when scoring batter matchups.

📋 Lineup Panel — Expected vs. Official Label

• Clearer lineup status in the Evidence card title — The lineup panel header now correctly shows EXPECTED LINEUP when displaying a predicted batting order and OFFICIAL LINEUP when the confirmed order has been posted. Previously it always showed "Official" regardless of lineup status.

🔧 Fixes

• Team logos now appear in MLB player profiles — Opening an MLB player's profile modal now correctly displays their team logo next to their name. The logo was failing to load in all cases due to an image format mismatch.
• Placeholder text readable in both light and dark mode — The "Select a game to view analysis" placeholder text in the FACTS card was difficult to read in dark mode. Text contrast is now consistent across both themes.

⚾ MLB Now Available on All Plans

• No longer admin-only — MLB is now fully accessible to Free, Pro, and Elite subscribers. Switch to baseball any day games are on the schedule and the entire workspace updates to reflect the MLB slate.

📊 MLB Leaderboard Improvements

• Limit selector now works in MLB — The Top 5 / Top 10 / Top 15 selector at the top of the leaderboards section now correctly controls how many players appear in each MLB leaderboard, consistent with how it works for NBA.
• 5-game sparklines on every MLB leaderboard — Each player row in the MLB stat leaderboards (Hits, HR, Total Bases, Strikeouts, Hits Allowed, Runs + RBI) now shows a small trend line for their last 5 games, so you can see at a glance whether a player is heating up or cooling off without opening their full profile.
• Click any player to open their profile — Player rows in the MLB leaderboards are now clickable. Tapping a player opens their dedicated MLB player profile directly from the leaderboard, the same way it works in lineup cards and Key Suspects.

🔧 Reliability Fixes

• FACTS card no longer freezes after slow requests — When loading Key Suspects took longer than expected, the FACTS card could become invisible and unresponsive for the rest of the session without a page reload. This has been fixed — the card now recovers cleanly regardless of how long a request takes.
• Streaks, Trends & O/U widgets now styled correctly — In rare cases where the CASE tab's supporting widgets (Notable Streaks, Team Trends, O/U Hit Rate) had to be inserted dynamically, they were missing their section styling and appeared detached from the rest of the analysis layout. They now render with the correct appearance in all cases.

⚡ PROPS Mode Now Factors In Defensive Matchups

• Matchup-adjusted edge — PROPS suspects no longer rank purely on historical averages vs. the sportsbook line. Each player's projected average is now adjusted for the quality of the opponent's defense before the edge is calculated — so a player facing an elite defense will show a lower projected edge than their raw numbers alone would suggest.
• Matchup badge on every prop card — Each suspect card in PROPS mode now displays a color-coded matchup badge (Very Positive → Very Negative) showing whether the defensive environment favors or hurts that player's stat category. Green means favorable, red means tough.
• Combo props adjusted component by component — For multi-stat props like Points + Rebounds or Points + Rebounds + Assists, each component is adjusted independently based on the specific defensive pressures relevant to that stat, rather than using a single blended number.

🔧 Four Accuracy Improvements to DFS Suspects

• Outlier games no longer skew ratings — A player who had an unusual game due to foul trouble, a blowout, or limited minutes used to disproportionately affect their efficiency and usage ratings until the next game. The engine now averages recent performance across a wider window so one bad night has far less impact.
• Opponent defense reflects recent form — Defensive ratings used to be calculated across the full season, which meant a team that had improved or declined defensively over the last month was still being judged by outdated numbers. The engine now focuses on the last 30 days, with an automatic fallback to the full season when recent sample size is too small.
• Role scoring weights calibrated against real results — The weights the engine uses to estimate how much each player type (catch-and-shoot specialist, slasher, secondary playmaker, etc.) contributes to DFS value have been recalibrated against 60 days of real game outcomes. Roles that were consistently under-projecting have been raised; roles that were over-projecting have been corrected.
• Injury games now model real minute redistribution — When a starter is confirmed out, the engine previously applied a flat boost to nearby players. It now models how that starter's minutes will realistically be redistributed among active teammates based on each player's usage share within the same position group — higher-usage players get a bigger projected bump than bench players who happen to share a position.

⚾ MLB Games — Today's Full Slate

• MLB Sport Switcher — The platform now supports MLB alongside NBA and NCAAB. Switch to baseball any day games are scheduled and the entire workspace updates: game cards, lineups, odds, and analysis all key off the MLB slate.
• Live Game Cards — Today's MLB matchups appear as game cards showing live scores, current inning, and pre-game start times — so you always know whether a game is upcoming, in-progress, or finished without leaving the page.
• Betting Lines Built In — Each MLB game card displays the run line, game total (over/under), and moneyline odds, giving you the sportsbook context you need right alongside the lineup and analysis.

📋 MLB Lineups — Batting Orders & Pitching Staffs

• Confirmed Batting Orders — Once lineups are posted, both teams' batting orders appear in slot order (1–9) with each player's position listed, so you can see exactly who's hitting where before lock.
• Starting Pitcher Featured — The probable or confirmed starter is highlighted at the top of each team's pitching section so you immediately know who's on the mound.
• Predicted Lineups — On days when official lineups haven't been released yet, the engine surfaces predicted batting orders based on recent usage so you can start your research early.

🔍 MLB Game Analysis — The CASE Tab

• Pitcher Matchup Intelligence — The CASE tab for each MLB game breaks down the starting pitching matchup: how the pitcher has performed recently, which batter types he struggles or thrives against, and how the opposing lineup is built to exploit or absorb him.
• Run Environment Badge — A clear badge tells you whether this game projects as a high-scoring shootout, a pitcher's duel, or somewhere in between — letting you set expectations before you dig into the detail.
• DFS Stack Recommendations — The CASE tab surfaces which team and lineup slot is the best target for DFS stacking based on pitcher vulnerability, lineup quality, and projected run environment.
• Pitcher Strengths & Weaknesses — Each analysis calls out specific matchup edges: whether the pitcher gets hurt by lefties, struggles with runners on base, or is prone to the long ball — giving you an angle you can act on.

🎯 MLB Key Suspects — Top DFS Targets Per Game

• Game-by-Game Targets — Each MLB game card surfaces its own Key Suspects: the batters and pitchers most likely to deliver DFS value that day based on the matchup, lineup spot, and pitcher vulnerability.
• Reason Included — Every suspect comes with a plain-English reason explaining why the engine flagged them, so you understand the logic and can decide whether it fits your lineup strategy.
• Archetypes for Batters & Pitchers — Players are tagged with a role archetype (e.g., Power Threat, Table Setter, Ace, Strikeout Artist) so you can quickly filter to the type of upside you're looking for.

👤 MLB Player Profiles — Click Any Player to Dig Deeper

• Dedicated MLB Profile Modal — Click any player in an MLB lineup card to open their dedicated profile, showing recent performance data and season totals without leaving the page.
• Smart Batter vs. Pitcher Columns — The game log automatically shows the right stats for the player's role: batters see AVG, HR, RBI, SB, and fantasy points; pitchers see IP, ER, K, BB, and fantasy points. No manual toggling required.
• Season Stats Tab — Alongside the rolling game log, a Season Stats tab shows cumulative season totals so you can put recent performance in context against the full-year picture.
• Multi-Window Support — You can open profiles for multiple players side by side, drag them anywhere on screen, and resize them — the same workflow you already know from NBA player research.

🎯 New ELITE Tool: Hit Rate History

• Did the picks land? — A brand-new panel lets you look back at any game date and see exactly which Key Suspects hit or missed — no guesswork, no memory required. Every result is verified against the official box score.
• Two modes, one panel — Switch between DFS mode (did the player meet or exceed the engine's projected stat line?) and PROPS mode (did the player beat or miss the sportsbook's prop line that the engine flagged?). Each mode has its own results list.
• Any date you choose — A date picker at the top of the panel lets you pull up results for any past game date. By default it opens to the most recent game night with completed results.
• Clean at-a-glance format — Every row shows the player's name, team, opponent, what was projected or what the prop line was, and a clear ✓ HIT (green) or ✗ MISS (red) badge. No clutter.
• Daily summary stats — A header above the table shows the slate-wide hit rate for the selected date and mode — for example "14/22 hit — 63%". Colour-coded green, yellow, or red based on how well the engine performed that day.
• Paginated results — Results are split into pages of 10 with Prev / Next navigation, consistent with Quarter Scorers and 1st Basket Scorer.
• ELITE exclusive — Hit Rate History is available to ELITE and ADMIN subscribers.

🎵 AZ Rock Radio — Now Playing in the App

• Built-in music player — AZ Rock Radio is now available as a floating mini-player in the bottom-right corner of the app. Hit play and keep the energy up while you research.
• Non-intrusive design — The player is a small pill-shaped control with play/pause and volume. It stays out of your way and never blocks the main workspace.
• Remembers your settings — Volume level and whether the stream was playing are saved between sessions so the player resumes the way you left it.
• Powered By footer — The AZ Rock Radio logo now appears at the bottom of the page with a "Powered By" label and links to the station website. Fully compatible with light and dark themes.

🔧 Reliability Fixes

• Streamer mode — no more 404 errors on past games — When viewing a game that has already finished in Streamer mode, the player cards now correctly show season averages instead of attempting to load live box-score data, which was causing repeated network errors.
• Faster, quieter page load — Fixed an issue where the live update connection was being established before your login session was confirmed, causing a brief authentication error on every page load. The connection now waits until your session is verified.

🏷️ Instant Signal Tags on Every Prop

• VALUE (green) — Shown when a player is both hitting the prop at a high rate and averaging above the posted line. Both signals agree: lean over.
• EDGE (blue) — Shown when a player is consistently outperforming the line even if their hit rate isn't elite. The market may not have caught up yet.
• FADE (red) — Shown when the hit rate is low and the player is averaging below the line. The market is winning this one.

📈 Trend Arrows on Every Row

• Always-visible direction indicator — Every prop row now shows a small ↑, ↓, or → arrow next to the hit rate to show whether the player is heating up, cooling off, or running steady based on their last 10 games vs. their season average. Hover over the arrow to see the exact gap.

💡 Market Insight Block

• Auto-generated analysis — When you expand a prop to see recent game results, a "Market Insight" box now appears above the game log. It tells you in plain language what the data is saying — things like "Strong 68% hit rate over last 25 games" or "Cooling off — last 10 games trending 18 points below season average."
• Performance vs. market callout — If the player is consistently scoring more (or less) than the posted line, the insight block calls it out explicitly: "Outperforming market expectation by +1.6 per game." No more doing the math yourself.

📉 Today's Line Movement — Now Smarter

• Sharp Move alert — If a sportsbook has moved the line by half a point or more today, you'll see a highlighted banner above the movement row calling it out as a sharp move.
• Multi-book signal — If two or more books moved the line in the same direction, the banner upgrades to "Multi-Book Line Drop" or "Multi-Book Line Rise" — one of the strongest signals in sports betting that sharp money is on one side.
• Mini chart — When a line moved through three or more values during the day, a small path chart now visualizes the full journey from open to current, instead of just showing the two endpoints.

📋 Paginated Game Log

• 10 games per page — The recent results list under each prop is now paginated so it doesn't take over the screen on mobile. Use Prev / Next to scroll through the full history.

📊 Leaderboard Mini Trend Charts

• 5-game sparkline on every player row — The leaderboards (Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals, Blocks, 3-Pointers) now show a small trend line for each player's last 5 individual game totals. At a glance you can see if someone is climbing, falling, or flat — without opening their profile.

✏️ Name Change

• 1st Team Scorers → 1st Basket Scorer — Renamed across the toolbar, panel header, and all in-app labels to better describe what the tool actually tracks. The tool itself is unchanged.

🎨 Light & Dark Mode Fixes

• Hit Rate view now respects your theme — The prop hit rate panel previously used hardcoded colors that were difficult to read in light mode. All text, backgrounds, and borders now follow your theme setting correctly.

🎬 Live Play-by-Play in the Center Slot

• Play-by-Play Replaces Camera Zone for Active Games - When you select a game that is currently in progress or already finished, the center slot of the broadcast layout now fills with a full live play-by-play feed instead of the empty camera zone placeholder. Scheduled games still show the camera zone as before.
• Full Scoreboard Included - The center slot shows the team names and logos, the current score and game clock, quarter-by-quarter scoring breakdown, and a full scrollable play log — the same information you'd see opening the Play-by-Play popup in any other view.
• Quarter Tabs - Switch between Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, and OT using the tab row at the top of the play feed, just like the standard plays modal.
• Auto-Updates - The play feed refreshes automatically on the same interval as the rest of the workspace so your audience always sees the most current plays without you lifting a finger.
• Dark & Light Theme Compatible - The play feed fully respects your dark or light theme preference.

📊 Live Box-Score Stats in Lineup Cards

• Live Stats for Active Games - When a game is in progress or has finished, the player cards in the visitor and home lineup slots now show live box-score numbers (points, field goals, 3-pointers, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and minutes played) instead of season averages.
• Auto-Refreshing - Stats in the lineup slots update automatically throughout the game so you never have to refresh the page to see the latest numbers on stream.
• Season Averages for Scheduled Games - When the game hasn't started yet, lineup cards still show season averages as before. The switch to live stats happens automatically once tip-off occurs.
• Official Starting Lineups - For games that are live or final, the streamer slots now display the confirmed official starting lineup instead of the predicted lineup, matching what you see in Default, DFS, and Prop views.

🏥 Injury Cards Now Fully Functional

• Casualty Report Section - Each team's lineup slot now correctly displays the injury section (labeled "Casualty Report") beneath the bench players, with proper color coding — dark red for season-ending injuries, red for out, orange for doubtful, amber for questionable, and blue for day-to-day.
• Clickable Injury Cards - Tapping any injury card in the streamer slots opens the full injury detail popup, the same as in every other view.

🎥 Built for Streamers & Content Creators

• New STREAMER View - A dedicated broadcast layout designed for OBS, Streamlabs, and similar screen-capture tools. Restructures the entire workspace into a cinematic, widescreen-friendly arrangement optimized for large monitors.
• Split Team Lineups - The visitor and home team lineups are separated to the left and right sides of your stream, with a reserved center zone where you physically sit or place your face-cam. Includes starters, bench, and injury listings for both teams.
• Camera Zone Placeholder - The center 50% of the lineup row is reserved as a black zone with a faint "CAMERA ZONE" label and dashed border, marking exactly where to position your OBS scene capture.
• Full-Width Games Strip - Today's active cases span the entire top row so your audience can see the full slate at a glance.
• FACTS / SUSPECTS Always Active - The FACTS card switches to the SUSPECTS tab automatically when you enter STREAMER mode, surfacing your highest-priority player intelligence without any manual tab switching.
• Season Averages on Every Player Card - Each player in the split lineup cards shows their full season averages (PTS, REB, AST, 3PT, STL, BLK, MIN) for instant reference during your broadcast.
• PC-Only Safety Guard - STREAMER mode is automatically disabled on screens narrower than 1280px and falls back gracefully to the default layout so mobile users are never affected.

⚙️ Technical Details

• Template Lock - Entering STREAMER mode ignores the active template selection (Single Column, Two Column, etc.) and enforces a fixed 16-column broadcast grid. Your previous template is restored when you exit.
• Live Game Switching - Clicking any game card updates both split lineup slots instantly, so you can switch matchups mid-broadcast without leaving STREAMER mode.
• No Impact on Other Views - All STREAMER changes are scoped with CSS specificity so DEFAULT, SIMPLE, DFS, and PROP views remain completely unaffected.

🖥️ View Mode Panel

• New View Mode Switcher - A pull-down panel in the top bar lets you instantly switch between five workspace configurations: Default, Simple, Streamer, DFS, and Prop. Your selection persists across sessions.
• DEFAULT - Full workspace with all sections, tools, and template selection available. This is the standard research environment.
• SIMPLE - Strips the workspace down to games and FACTS only. Hides lineups, leaderboards, tool buttons, the template selector, and non-essential FACTS tabs (CASE, FACTORS, DFS RANK). Forces single-column layout. Ideal for quick pre-game reads.
• DFS - Optimized for DFS research. Hides props-related tools (Streak Board, Qtr Scorers, 1st Team Scorers) and the PROPS suspects toggle so nothing distracts from lineup-building.
• PROP - Optimized for player prop betting. Hides the DFS Ranking button and DFS-related FACTS tabs so your workspace stays focused on prop analysis.
• STREAMER - Broadcast layout described above.

🎯 Why This Matters

• Less Noise, Faster Decisions - Each mode hides irrelevant tools so you only see what matters for your current workflow.
• One Click to Switch - Transition from a DFS session to a props session without manually toggling individual features.
• Remembered Across Sessions - Your last view mode is saved so the workspace opens exactly how you left it.

📅 Quarter Scorers Upgrades

• SEASON Tab - A new SEASON tab joins L5/L10/L15/L20, showing players who have scored 3+ points in every quarter across their entire current season — the most demanding filter for elite all-quarter consistency.
• Dynamic Column Header - The "GAMES" column header now reflects the selected window (L5, L10, L15, L20, or Season) so it's always clear what period you're analyzing.
• Per-Team Lineup Fallback - When today's confirmed lineups aren't yet posted, the tool now correctly falls back to each team's most recent lineup individually, preventing one missing team from blanking the entire panel.
• Accurate Window Counts - Fixed an edge case where game counts were being inflated by counting non-qualifying games. Results now reflect exactly the window you selected.
• Consistent Pagination - Navigation controls now use the same icon-based Prev/Next style used across the rest of the app, with accurate page counts and a clean upgrade prompt for FREE users on the final page.

🏆 1st Team Scorers Upgrades

• All Quarter Scorers improvements applied - SEASON tab, corrected window counts, per-team lineup fallback, dynamic column header, and consistent pagination all carried over to 1st Team Scorers for feature parity.

💰 DFS Rankings Pagination

• Paginated Player List - The DFS Rankings modal now paginates results in groups of 10 instead of showing an unscrolled wall of players. Navigate with the same icon-based Prev/Next controls used in Quarter Scorers and 1st Team Scorers for a consistent experience.
• Tier-Gated Results - FREE accounts see the top 3 players; PRO accounts see the top 10; ELITE and ADMIN have no limit. The upgrade prompt only appears on the last page of your tier's results — not mid-list.
• Sort Persists Across Pages - Changing the sort column (Score, Salary, Position, etc.) resets to page 1 and re-sorts the full list before paginating, so you never see stale ordering after switching columns.

🎯 1st Team Scorers (PRO)

• New Tool: 1st Team Scorers - A new button in the toolbar opens a panel showing players on today's slate who have scored in the first 3 minutes of every one of their last 5 games. You can extend the lookback window to the last 10, 15, or 20 games to find the most consistent early-game performers. Only the top 10% of qualifying players are shown, ranked by how many points they've averaged in those early minutes.
• Date-Aware Results - The panel always reflects the date you're currently browsing, so viewing yesterday's or tomorrow's slate shows the correct players for those games.

📊 Quarter Scorers (PRO)

• New Tool: Quarter Scorers - A companion tool that highlights players who scored 3 or more points in every single quarter (Q1 through Q4) across their last 5, 10, 15, or 20 games. These are your most consistently balanced contributors — players who show up all game long rather than putting up their numbers in one or two quarters. Same top-10% ranking as 1st Team Scorers.

🖥️ Modal Improvements

• Light Mode Support for Tool Panels - The Streak Board, 1st Team Scorers, and Quarter Scorers panels now properly adapt to your light or dark theme preference instead of always appearing in dark mode.
• Readable Empty States - When a tool panel has no results to show, the "no data" message is now clearly visible in both light and dark mode.

⚙️ Platform

• NCAAB Live Updates Now Run Independently - The NCAAB live data update process now runs as its own dedicated background service, separate from the NBA feed. This means an issue with one sport's data won't affect the other, and each can be monitored and restarted individually.

🚀 Significantly Faster Load Times

• Pages and Assets Load Much Faster - Images, scripts, and stylesheets are now delivered directly at the network level rather than being routed through the app server, cutting load times considerably
• Compressed Responses - All data sent to your browser is now compressed before delivery, reducing page weight by up to 80% and making the dashboard noticeably snappier on slower connections
• HTTP/2 Enabled - Multiple requests now travel over a single connection simultaneously instead of queuing one after another, improving how quickly the full page comes together

🔧 Higher Capacity & Stability

• More Users Served at the Same Time - The platform now runs across all available server cores simultaneously, quadrupling how many users can be served at once without slowdowns
• Faster Data Queries - The database is now configured to keep the full working dataset in memory, eliminating slow disk reads and making stat lookups and leaderboards respond much faster during peak hours
• Automatic Recovery - If any part of the server encounters an unexpected error, it automatically restarts within seconds without requiring manual intervention or taking the whole platform offline

📧 Newsletter Delivery Fixed

• Newsletters Are Sending Again - Admin newsletter delivery was failing silently after the platform migration — this has been fully resolved and newsletters now send reliably

🔐 Login Fixed Across All Subdomains

• Stay Logged In Across the Platform - Users who signed in on sportsfbi.com were appearing as logged out when visiting the BlowOutAlert workspace — this cross-site authentication issue has been resolved and your session now carries over correctly

🎛️ View Mode Panel

• New Pull-Down Mode Switcher - A fixed panel at the very top of the page lets you instantly switch the workspace into a purpose-built layout. Click the handle tab to reveal five modes: DEFAULT, SIMPLE, STREAMER, DFS, and PROP. Your selection is remembered across page reloads.
• PROP Mode - Focused layout for player prop betting. Hides all DFS-specific tools and defaults the Key Suspects tab to the PROPS view automatically.
• DFS Mode - Focused layout for daily fantasy lineup building. Hides prop-betting tools and keeps Key Suspects defaulted to the DFS ranking view.
• SIMPLE Mode - Distraction-free single-column view that strips away secondary tools, lineup sections, and leaderboards so you can focus on the core game feed.

🖼️ Modal & Dialog Improvements

• Scroll the Page While a Modal Is Open - Previously, opening any modal locked the background page completely. All modals now allow you to scroll the page behind them, so you can reference other content without closing the dialog.
• Taller Matchup Dialogs - The Matchup Breakdown and Matchup Analysis dialogs are now taller, showing more content before requiring a scroll and making the comparison layout less cramped.

🔀 DFS / PROPS Mode on Key Suspects

• Two Modes, One Tab - The Key Suspects tab now has a DFS | PROPS toggle so you can instantly switch between players ranked for daily fantasy value and players with the strongest edge against their sportsbook prop lines
• PROPS Mode Ranks by Sportsbook Edge - When PROPS is selected, each suspect is ranked by how far their recent average diverges from their current prop line — the player with the biggest gap between what they're averaging and what the book is offering shows up first
• Edge Gauge for Every Player - Each PROPS suspect card shows a color-coded needle gauge (red for under, green for over) with the prop type, line, and projected edge clearly labeled below it
• No More DFS Bias in PROPS View - PROPS rankings use raw stat averages, not DFS scoring weights — a 3-point specialist won't outrank a high-volume scorer just because threes carry bonus DFS points

🔥 Hit / Miss Indicators on Completed Games

• See How Suspects Actually Performed - When you view a completed game, each Key Suspect card now shows a 🔥 if the player hit or exceeded their projected mark, or a red ✕ if they came up short — both on the DFS and PROPS gauges
• PROPS Hit Logic - For PROPS suspects, a 🔥 means the player went in the direction the gauge predicted (e.g., scored over the line when the edge leaned OVER); a ✕ means they went the other way
• DNP Players Excluded - Players who were on the injury report and did not play are excluded from hit/miss tracking so you won't see misleading results for players who sat out

📊 Props Hit Rate — Recent Form vs. All-Time

• New L10 Column in Hit Rate Tables - The player props hit rate table now shows a separate "Last 10 Games" column alongside the overall rate, so you can quickly see if a player is trending up or down recently
• Trend Arrows When It Matters - When a player's last-10 hit rate diverges significantly from their overall rate, an ↑ or ↓ arrow appears with a tooltip explaining the trend — making it easy to spot hot streaks and cold spells without doing the math yourself

✅ Prop Lines Now Always Current

• No More Stale Lines Showing Alongside Current Ones - When a sportsbook moves a player's prop line mid-day, only the most recent line is now shown — previously both the old and new line could appear side by side, which was confusing
• Hit Rate Calculations Are Cleaner - Prop lines with no valid value are no longer included in hit rate history, which was artificially inflating some players' percentages toward 100%
• Streak Board Uses the Right Line - The prop streak leaderboard now consistently picks the most recently updated line when computing active streaks

📉 Betting Display Fixes

• Markets Closed State Now Shows Correctly - When a sportsbook closes betting markets before tip-off, the odds panel now correctly shows "Markets Closed" instead of displaying raw internal values
• O/U History Shows a Message When Data Is Unavailable - Previously the over/under history widget would silently disappear when no data was available for the selected book; it now displays a brief "No O/U history available" note so the empty space isn't mistaken for a bug
• Game Quality Ratings Use a Consistent Odds Source - The spread used to calculate the Game Quality star rating and Blowout Probability now always comes from the same book you have selected, eliminating cases where the displayed spread and the quality score were based on different numbers

📱 Smarter Default Layout for Mobile

• Mobile-First Experience - First-time visitors on phones and tablets now see the single-column layout by default instead of the three-column desktop view, making the workspace immediately usable on smaller screens
• Desktop Still Defaults to Three Columns - Desktop users continue to get the full three-column layout on first visit for maximum information density on larger screens
• Layout Preferences Always Saved - Your layout selection is still remembered across sessions regardless of device—this change only affects the initial experience for new visitors

✨ Improved Readability Throughout

• Clearer Lineup Text - Enhanced text sizing across lineup displays, player cards, and matchup details for easier scanning and reduced eye strain
• Better Key Suspects Visibility - Prop projection text in the Key Suspects cards is now more legible, making it faster to identify high-value player opportunities
• Consistent Typography - Standardized font sizes across similar elements for a more polished, professional appearance

🏷️ Streamlined Tab Labels

• Shorter FACTS Card Tab Names - Renamed tabs to save space and reduce clutter: "KEY SUSPECTS" is now "SUSPECTS", "DFS RANK" is now "RANK", and "4 FACTORS" is now "FACTORS"
• Faster Tab Switching - Shorter labels make it quicker to scan and switch between tabs, especially on mobile devices where screen space is limited
• Same Functionality - All the data and analysis you rely on remains unchanged—only the labels are more concise

💎 Updated Subscription Tiers

• Elite API Rate Limit Adjustment - Elite tier API access updated from 600 requests per minute to 100 requests per minute to better match actual usage patterns and ensure consistent platform performance
• Clearer Free Tier Messaging - Free tier now explicitly shows "Stale betting odds" instead of "Live betting odds" to accurately reflect the delayed nature of free tier odds data
• Simplified Pro Tier - Removed features from Pro tier that are better suited to Elite subscribers, creating a clearer distinction between subscription levels

🥇 Player Rank Badges on Lineup Cards

• See Who the Top 5 Players Are at a Glance - Each lineup card now displays a rank badge (1ST through 5TH) in the top-left corner of the player card, so you can instantly spot the highest-value players on each team without scanning stats
• Ranked by Real Production - Rankings are calculated from season-long points, minutes, usage rate, and shooting efficiency combined — not just one stat — giving you a balanced picture of each player's overall contribution
• Works for Both Starters and Bench - Rank badges appear across the full lineup, not just starters, so you can quickly identify which bench players offer the most DFS upside
• Works for Predicted Lineups Too - Even before official lineups are posted, predicted lineups now show rank badges based on full season averages so you have context going into tip-off

🎁 Major Free Tier Expansion

• Advanced Player Analytics Now Free - The Analysis, Roles, Matchup, and Shot Chart tabs in every player profile are now available to all users, no subscription required
• All Player Insight Sections Now Free - Clutch Performance, Hustle Index, Quarter Breakdowns, Scoring Sources, and Ball Movement stats are now fully accessible on the free tier
• Defender Matchup Now Free - See how specific defenders have historically performed against a given player for free — previously a Pro/Elite-only feature
• Shot Profile Now Free - The visual shot zone breakdown showing where a player scores from is now available without a subscription

🤖 AI Chat Assistant Is Now Elite-Only

• Exclusive to Elite Subscribers - The AI Chat Assistant is now reserved for Elite tier members, reflecting the significant compute cost behind real-time natural language game analysis
• Upgrade Prompt for Other Tiers - Free and Pro users will see a clear prompt explaining how to unlock AI Chat by upgrading to Elite

⚡ Faster Lineup Loading

• Matchup Icons Load ~10x Faster - Verdict icons on player cards (the colored indicators showing favorable vs. unfavorable matchups) now load in a single batch request instead of one-by-one, dramatically reducing the time before you see a fully colored lineup
• Icons Appear Immediately After Lineup Renders - Previously a brief delay caused icons to "pop in" after the lineup was visible; they now appear at the same time as the lineup itself

🎨 Cleaner Lineup Presentation

• Bench Players Same Size as Starters - Bench player cards are now the same size as starter cards, making it easier to compare players across the full lineup without squinting at smaller tiles
• Removed Loading Animations - The card-flip animations that appeared when lineups loaded have been removed for a faster, less distracting experience
• More Accurate Matchup Verdicts - Fixed a classification error where favorable and unfavorable defensive matchup ratings were being displayed in reverse — verdicts now correctly reflect which matchups are advantageous

📊 Quarter-by-Quarter Scoring Trends

• See How Players Perform Each Quarter - Player profiles now include quarter-by-quarter scoring breakdowns showing average points in Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4
• Identify Closers vs Fast Starters - A visual bar chart highlights whether a player is a "CLOSER" (stronger in Q4) or "FAST STARTER" (stronger in Q1), helping you find late-game scorers for DFS and betting decisions
• Quarter-Level Advanced Stats - Beyond points, you can see usage percentage, offensive rating, defensive rating, and net rating for each quarter to understand how a player's role changes throughout the game
• Late-Swap DFS Intelligence - Knowing that a player averages 14.8 points in the fourth quarter but only 9.2 in the first helps you target players whose game script impact isn't reflected in simple season averages

🛡️ Defensive Matchup Intelligence (Pro/Elite)

• Who Guards Who - New "MATCHUP" tab in player profiles shows how specific defenders have performed against tonight's opponent throughout the season
• Defender Quality Score - Each matchup displays a 0-100 defense score with tier labels (ELITE, ABOVE AVG, AVERAGE, BELOW AVG, POOR) so you can instantly assess how tough a defensive assignment is
• Detailed Matchup Stats - See field goal percentage allowed, three-point percentage allowed, points allowed per game, turnovers forced, and total possessions defended in previous matchups
• Better Than Team Defense Averages - Instead of painting the whole defense with one brush, you can see exactly how the player assigned to guard your DFS pick has actually performed against them this season

🎯 How Players Score Their Points

• Visual Scoring Breakdown - Player profiles now show a color-coded stacked bar displaying what percentage of a player's points come from the paint, three-pointers, mid-range shots, and free throws
• Pair with Opponent Tendencies - Understanding that a player gets 58% of their points in the paint becomes actionable intel when facing a team that allows elite rim percentages
• Points Per Game by Source - Beyond percentages, see the raw points-per-game breakdown for paint scoring, fast break points, second-chance points, and points off turnovers
• Spot Matchup Traps - A player who relies heavily on mid-range scoring against a team that forces opponents into mid-range shots is less valuable than the surface stats suggest

🎲 Game Total Hit Rate History

• Over/Under Trends Revealed - FACTS cards now display each team's historical over/under performance, showing you if games involving tonight's teams typically go over or under the betting total
• Home and Road Splits - See separate over percentages for each team at home and on the road, since venue can dramatically impact scoring pace and final totals
• Hot and Cold Labels - Teams with 60%+ over rates display a 🔥 "hot" indicator, while teams with 40% or less show a ❄️ "cold" label, helping you spot total-betting opportunities at a glance
• Tonight's Total Context - The widget displays tonight's posted total alongside the historical trends, so you can quickly assess whether the betting line aligns with or contradicts the teams' typical scoring patterns

🔧 Smoother Tab Switching

• Fixed FACTS Card Tab Navigation - Switching between DFS RANK, KEY SUSPECTS, and CASE tabs now properly clears the previous tab's content before loading new data
• No More Ghost Content - Previously, switching tabs could briefly show stale information from the previously viewed tab; this has been eliminated for a cleaner experience
• Consistent Dark/Light Theme - Placeholder messages and empty states now properly adapt to your selected theme instead of showing hardcoded light-mode styles

🩹 Predicted Lineup Error Handling

• Cleaner Navigation Between Games - Fixed an issue where rapidly clicking between different games could briefly show "Lineup data unavailable" error messages even when data existed
• Silent Request Cancellation - When you navigate away from a game before its lineup data finishes loading, the cancelled request no longer displays confusing error messages
• More Reliable Predictions - Improved handling ensures that predicted lineups display consistently when available instead of intermittently failing due to background request timing

• Risk-First Game Preview - The live game preview on the SportsFBI homepage now prioritizes showing games with blowout risk instead of just displaying the earliest game of the day
• Intelligent Sorting - When multiple games are scheduled, the preview automatically shows the earliest game that has high blowout potential, helping you spot risky matchups before placing lineups
• Fallback to Earliest Game - If no games have blowout risk detected, the preview defaults to showing the next scheduled game as usual
• Market-Aware Detection - Blowout risk is identified using the same proven criteria: low game quality ratings combined with large point spreads, or spreads of 10+ points regardless of quality

🔔 Enhanced Blowout Alert Visual

• Animated Rotating Alarm - Blowout alert icons now feature a realistic rotating emergency light with a spinning yellow bulb and pulsing glow effect, making risky games impossible to miss
• Dynamic Glow Animation - The yellow warning light pulses brighter and dimmer in sync with the rotation, creating an eye-catching alert that draws your attention to high-risk matchups

🎭 Advanced Player Role Classification System

• 18 Granular Player Roles - NBA player classifications have been upgraded from 8 basic archetypes to 18 specialized roles organized across 6 strategic tiers, giving you much more precise player categorization
• Multi-Role Player Recognition - Instead of forcing each player into a single category, the system now shows the top 3 roles a player fills with percentage breakdowns, recognizing that modern players often excel in multiple areas
• 6 Strategic Tiers - Roles are organized into Offensive Engines (3 roles), Secondary Creators (3 roles), Off-Ball Scoring (4 roles), Big Man Roles (4 roles), Defensive Roles (3 roles), and Connective Roles (1 role) for intuitive understanding
• Better Matchup Intelligence - Player matchup analysis now uses role-specific insights tailored to each of the 18 roles, providing more relevant strategic information for your research
• Visual Role Distribution - See at a glance which roles a player excels in with animated percentage bars showing their role probability scores

🔍 New Player Roles Explained

• Offensive Engines - Offensive Hub (offense flows through them), Pick-and-Roll Maestro (elite in pick-and-roll), Shot Creator (creates their own offense)
• Secondary Creators - Secondary Playmaker (supporting ball-handler), Slashing Attacker (drives to the basket), Transition Weapon (thrives in fast breaks)
• Off-Ball Scoring - Movement Shooter (scores off screens), Catch-and-Shoot Specialist (spot-up three-point shooter), Shot-Making Wing (versatile scorer), Off-Ball Cutter (scores by cutting to the basket)
• Big Man Roles - Rim Runner (finishes lobs and dunks), Stretch Big (shooting big man), Post Scorer (traditional post play), Short-Roll Playmaker (playmaking center)
• Defensive Roles - Rim Protector (blocks shots and protects the paint), Switch Defender (guards multiple positions), Perimeter Stopper (shuts down wings and guards)
• Connective Role - Glue Connector (does everything needed to help the team win without specializing)

📊 Role Probability Display

• Top 3 Roles Highlighted - Player matchup cards now show each player's three strongest roles with percentage scores, helping you understand their complete skill set instead of just one label
• Primary Role Emphasis - The highest-scored role is marked as the player's primary classification, with secondary and tertiary roles providing additional context
• Percentage-Based Clarity - Role strength is displayed as a percentage (like "Rim Protector: 16.4%"), making it easy to see how strongly a player fits each role
• Versatility Recognition - When a player's role percentages are spread out, you can instantly see they're versatile rather than specialized, which impacts how you should evaluate their opportunity

🎯 Why This Matters

• More Accurate Player Understanding - 18 roles capture the nuances of modern NBA basketball far better than the old 8 categories, helping you see exactly how a player creates value
• Better Matchup Analysis - When you see a "Pick-and-Roll Maestro" facing a "Rim Protector," the matchup implications are immediately clear in a way that generic labels couldn't provide
• Versatile Player Recognition - Players like Bam Adebayo who contribute in multiple ways (16.4% Rim Protector, 15.5% Short-Roll Playmaker, 10.8% Shot Creator) are now properly recognized instead of being forced into one box
• Smarter Roster Building - Understanding that a player fills multiple roles helps you identify lineup construction opportunities and which players complement each other best
• Enhanced Strategic Insights - Role-specific matchup advice means you get recommendations tailored to how a player actually plays, not just general basketball wisdom
• Future-Ready System - As NBA positions continue to blur and players become more versatile, the 18-role system adapts to recognize modern playing styles accurately

• Quicker Initial Display - Player windows open faster because they're not trying to load everything at once, getting you to the information you need more quickly
• Reduced Wait Times - If you just want to check recent games and move on, you never have to wait for role analysis data to finish loading in the background

🎨 Compact Professional Design
