Why the line moved
Why did the Rangers vs Rays line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Rays -1.5) even with 60% of the spread money on the Rangers. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8 to 7.5) even though 65% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 35% of the money and 20% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
