Why the line moved
Why did the Giants vs Nationals line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Nationals +1.5) even with 62% of the spread money on the Nationals. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8 to 7.5) even though 91% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 9% of the money and 8% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
