Why the line moved
Why did the Yankees vs Orioles line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Orioles +1.5) even with 51% of the spread money on the Orioles. The total moved 1 point toward the under (8.5 to 7.5) even though 80% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 20% of the money and 33% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
