Easier to cover for.
You can use guards on either shoulder to protect them. Whereas if you try to use an OT to protect a G, you end up opening the OT up to speed rushers on the outside.
Now I don't think there should be as big a gap as there is, but I do think the C position is easier to fill than the G position at a league average level (and you only need 32 of them league-wide) so the supply/demand dictates that they cost a little bit less.
