Why the line moved
Why did the Cubs vs Rockies line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Rockies +1.5) even with 85% of the spread money on the Cubs. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (12.5 to 12) even though 80% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 20% of the money and 23% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
