Why the line moved
Why did the Mariners vs Cardinals line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Cardinals +1.5) even with 76% of the spread money on the Mariners. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8 to 7.5) even though 70% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 30% of the money and 32% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
