Why the line moved
Why did the Pirates vs Rays line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Rays -1.5) even with 91% of the spread money on the Rays. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8.5 to 8) even though 90% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 10% of the money and 10% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
