Why the line moved
Why did the Blue Jays vs Red Sox line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Red Sox -1.5) even with 90% of the spread money on the Red Sox. The total moved 1 point toward the under (8.5 to 7.5) even though 73% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 27% of the money and 25% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
