Why the line moved
Why did the Astros vs White Sox line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (White Sox +1.5) even with 97% of the spread money on the Astros. The total moved 1 point toward the under (8.5 to 7.5) even though 96% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 4% of the money and 3% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
