Why the line moved
Why did the Rays vs Mariners line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Mariners +1.5) even with 86% of the spread money on the Rays. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (7 to 6.5) even though 79% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 21% of the money and 11% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
