Using first bloods on a prop

  1. Start with the line total

    Shotzzy averages 1.9 Maps 1-3 first bloods over 62 series. Compare that with the posted line, because the prop adds the first 3 maps together. First bloods are recorded in Search & Destroy, so Maps 1-3 usually holds one chance at it.

  2. Check the range and the ladder

    Shotzzy's floor is 1 and ceiling is 2.8, and Shotzzy went over 1.5 in 65% of series. The last 10 average of 2.2 is level with the 1.9 window average.

  3. Check the opponent

    Open the Call of Duty kill environment page for today's opponent. A team that gives up more kills usually lifts other stats against it too.

  4. Check today's line

    Today's Call of Duty lines and each player's hit rate against them are in PickFinder.

How this is counted

Window: the CDL 2026 season, Dec 5, 2025 to Aug 9, 2026. Counts CDL league events and the World Cup: 317 series and 1,253 maps. CDC and community cups are left out, and World Cup teams are merged with their league team by roster. Forfeits and rows that disagree with the series score are removed. First bloods per map uses every map played. Maps 1-3 adds the first 3 maps of a series, so shorter series and stand-ins who missed a map are not in it. Floor is the 20th percentile of those totals and ceiling is the 80th. Reliability is floor divided by ceiling, times 100. The ladder shows the share of series over each line, with lines running from a typical starter to the top of the board. Minimum 25 series, 48 players qualify and the top 48 are shown.
