Reverse Line Moves in Baseball
We've talked about reverse line movements in football and basketball, but haven't really touched upon it for baseball.

Simply put, a reverse line move is when the odds on a game move in the opposite direction of the money wagered. In football or basketball, if Team A is -4 over Team B and 75-percent of the money wagered is on Team A, we could expect to see the line change to Team A -5. In a reverse line movement, the odds would change to Team A -3, which is essentially a move in the reverse direction from what one would expect.

The same concept holds true in baseball, except we're dealing with money line odds.

If Team C is -150 over Team D and 80-percent of the money is coming in on Team C, logic would dictate a line movement to Team C -160. In a baseball reverse line move, the odds would change to Team C -140.
