Why the line moved
Why did the Red Sox vs Giants line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Giants -1.5) even with 52% of the spread money on the Red Sox. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (7.5 to 7) even though 70% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 30% of the money and 25% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
