Why the line moved
Why did the Giants vs Astros line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Astros -1.5) even with 87% of the spread money on the Astros. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8.5 to 8) even though 85% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 15% of the money and 9% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
