Why the line moved
Why did the Brewers vs Nationals line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Nationals +1.5) even with 87% of the spread money on the Brewers. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8.5 to 8) even though 95% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 5% of the money and 4% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
