Default problem with fractions to decimal

I'm creating a spreadsheet that tracks and records line moves in Vegas.
when I copy and paste the data into a sheet, the point spread (+3½) and money line (-105) are both entered into the same cell. like +3½ -105

to separated the two I using =Left(B2,3) to extract +3½ into cell D2

but now I can't get add or subtract anything to that number because the ½ is there and the sheet recognizes it as a text, not a number.

I tried to format it as a fraction with #?/? didn't work
Tried to use find ( and replace, that didn't work.



Here is the sheet. feel free to edit it if you have a solution
