Why the line moved
Why did the Marlins vs Rays line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Rays -1.5) even with 85% of the spread money on the Rays. The total moved 1 point toward the under (9.5 to 8.5) even though 81% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 19% of the money and 20% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
