Why the line moved
Why did the Mets vs Braves line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Braves -1.5) even with 61% of the spread money on the Mets. The total moved 1 point toward the under (8.5 to 7.5) even though 90% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 10% of the money and 8% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
