Why the line moved
Why did the Mets vs Nationals line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Nationals +1.5) even with 82% of the spread money on the Mets. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (10.5 to 10) even though 87% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 13% of the money and 22% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
