Birds-Sox game

I took Bmore at +129 and CWS was I believe -140 and runline they were +150, now CWS is -130 and runline is +145, is that just a case people betting bmore +1.5? Why would a line move against the favorite, but also cause the runline to decrease?

The runline also relies a lot on the totals so when a line is moved from U9 to U8.5 then the underdog's +1.5 RL tend to have more juice (as the likelihood of covering +1.5 would happen with people betting Under because of rain or etc) so that means Sox's ....wait, Sox's -1.5 RL was +150 but now only +145?

Let me check that out.

What Twisted_One posted sounds about right. Like I just said, it's because of the total dropping. So Orioles +1.5 is rising up to -170 (and Sox is "now -1.5 +150"), which makes sense.
