Why the line moved
Why did the Orioles vs Cardinals line move?
The spread did not move from its opening number (Cardinals -1.5) even with 69% of the spread money on the Cardinals. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (8.5 to 8) even though 92% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 8% of the money and 5% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
