So check this out.
Bet MGM and Bet105 have Total of .5 runs, and the Under is heavily juiced. Here are the lines for Blackmon Total .5 runs at those two...

Those holds are very high, but those Under bets are juiced to the core. For example, here's Pinny's game line for the Pitt vs. Colo game tonight, notice the hold of 2.1% on the major sports. Bookmaking is a business and volume matters...

Most of you know this but, when I can post a video, my "Knowing Your Markets" video goes into how we make the vig free line and how you can see the types of bettors many books can cater too, and all they'd have to do increase their volume. Which in turn invites sharper action. That's a risk some books simply won't take.
Yet BOL holds at +500 and Bovada at +600, and they don't offer the other side of the bet. That's another old school lesson in gambling, beware of the future and prop where only one side is offered as that side is often shorted on it's payout. Market factors aren't at play like when both side are offered.
We have an example of that here today, just among these few books that represent onshore, offshore, low vig, big book, small book, etc.
Anyway, the line has moved against us on Blackmon, no matter how you look at.
