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 51% of the spread money on the Nationals. The total moved 1.5 points toward the under (9.5 to 8) even though 90% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 10% of the money and 7% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
