Why the line moved
Why did the Cubs vs Dodgers line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Dodgers -1.5) even with 93% of the spread money on the Dodgers. The total moved 1 point toward the under (9.5 to 8.5) even though 85% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 15% of the money and 7% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
