Why the line moved
Why did the Blue Jays vs Pirates line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Pirates +1.5) even with 80% of the spread money on the Blue Jays. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8 to 7.5) even though 88% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 12% of the money and 11% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
