Why the line moved
Why did the Dodgers vs Cubs line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Cubs +1.5) even with 63% of the spread money on the Dodgers. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8.5 to 8) even though 63% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 37% of the money and 30% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
