Why the line moved
Why did the Royals vs Twins line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Twins -1.5) even with 83% of the spread money on the Twins. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8 to 7.5) even though 74% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 26% of the money and 22% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
