Client Background
Client: A leading sports tech firm in the USA

Industry Type: Sports

Products & Services: Sports Management, SaaS

Organization Size: 100+

The Problem
The client aimed to develop a sophisticated sports prediction model capable of forecasting game outcomes across five major sports leagues: NCAAFB, NHL, NFL, NBA, and MLB. The primary challenge was to leverage historical data and statistical inputs to accurately predict game winners. The project required integrating data from the SportRadar API, processing it efficiently, and utilizing machine learning techniques to train a predictive model. The ultimate goal was to provide real-time predictions that could assist in sports betting strategies or enhance fan engagement.

Our Solution
The proposed solution involved creating a comprehensive sports prediction model using Python, leveraging the SportRadar API for data acquisition, and storing the data in Google Cloud Storage. The project was structured around a modular approach, with each sport having its dedicated script (`{sport_name}.py`) for data processing and model training. The development workflow included:
– **Data Collection**: Utilizing the SportRadar API to gather historical data for the past 3-4 seasons.
– **Data Processing**: Storing the data in Google Cloud Storage and processing it into a structured format suitable for model training.
– **Model Training**: Preparing the data for model training, focusing on converting JSON data to tabular format and fetching relevant team stats.
– **Prediction**: Developing the predictive model to forecast game outcomes based on historical data and statistical inputs.

Solution Architecture
Data Acquisition: Leveraging the SportRadar API for data collection.
Data Storage: Utilizing Google Cloud Storage for efficient data storage and retrieval.
Data Processing: Implementing data processing scripts to prepare the data for model training.
Model Development: Building the predictive model using Python and machine learning libraries.
Deployment: Planning for deployment as a Flask API or Google Cloud Function for real-time predictions.
