Show from 10-31-18 

Happy Halloween! In this episode of our show we humor host Shane Jensen, long time Boston fan, by talking about the Red Sox victory in the World Series. Then we discuss midterm election analytics with voting day swiftly approaching. Plus an interview with Director of Data and Analytics at the National Football League Michael Lopez about the changing landscape of the sport. All that and more on this spooky edition of Wharton Moneyball.

Guest:

Michael Lopez is the Director of Data and Analytics at the National Football League, and holds an adjunct role as a statistics professor at Skidmore College. His research spans causal inference – with a specific focus on causal inference methods for multiple exposures or multiple exposure doses – and the application of statistics to sports.
