What is steam vs drift in line movement?

Steam is a line moving toward a side fast, often read as sharp/professional money. Drift is the opposite — a line easing away from a side, often as public money piles onto the other side.

Each row is one line that changed. Reading left to right: the player or matchup, then the market (e.g. Strikeouts, Total Bases, Moneyline), then the old number → new number and how far it moved. The colored pill is the book that moved it — see the bookmaker key at the bottom for what each 2-4 letter code means (DK = DraftKings, MGM = BetMGM, and so on). Steam means several books moved the same way at once — the sharpest signal, because it means real money pushed the number, not one book adjusting.
