CL increase, what exactly does it do to your score?

My CL on one of my two credit cards was recently raised from 2k-17k, what exactly does that do to a person's score? I have very good scores, EQ is aroun 720, EX is 748 and my TU is 734. Would that increase it due to lowered utilization, or lower it? I'm not sure what to think because it's not like I went out and applied for a new card.

Should get an increase. Utilization will decrease.
