Why the line moved
Why did the Athletics vs Yankees line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Yankees -1.5) even with 99% of the spread money on the Yankees. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8.5 to 8) even though 80% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 20% of the money and 24% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
