Why the line moved
Why did the Red Sox vs Mariners line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Mariners -1.5) even with 53% of the spread money on the Mariners. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (7.5 to 7) even though 78% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 22% of the money and 6% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
