Why the line moved
Why did the Mets vs Phillies line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Phillies +1.5) even with 54% of the spread money on the Phillies. The total moved 1 point toward the under (9.5 to 8.5) even though 75% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 25% of the money and 18% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
