Why the line moved
Why did the Pirates vs Mets line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Mets -1.5) even with 98% of the spread money on the Mets. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8 to 7.5) even though 85% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 15% of the money and 13% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
