Why the line moved
Why did the Royals vs Marlins line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Marlins +1.5) even with 83% of the spread money on the Royals. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8 to 7.5) even though 82% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 18% of the money and 9% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
