Why the line moved
Why did the Angels vs Cardinals line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Cardinals -1.5) even with 96% of the spread money on the Cardinals. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8.5 to 8) even though 98% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 2% of the money and 1% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
