Why the line moved
Why did the Rays vs Tigers line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Tigers +1.5) even with 67% of the spread money on the Tigers. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (9 to 8.5) even though 80% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 20% of the money and 7% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
