Why the line moved
Why did the Cardinals vs Marlins line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Marlins -1.5) even with 70% of the spread money on the Marlins. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8 to 7.5) even though 92% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 8% of the money and 7% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
