With or without Derek Rose the Bulls are still an outstanding road team and I think that shows up tonight. They are also used to playing without Rose and won some big games without him along the season. This is the biggest game of their season because it's the next game. I see a collective effort against a 76ers team that really peaked early in the season and are 18-38 ATS in their last 56 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Bulls are 38-14-2 ATS in their last 54 following a SU loss and 20-9 in their last 29 as a road under dog.
Josh Johnson easily has been the worst luck pitcher as he posts a 2.16 FIP as opponents have a .436 BABIP. That's about the change playing at San Diego where the Marlins will try to win 4 in a row. Padres just .100 average and a .367 OPS in 50 AB VS. Johnson have been struggling big time as they post a .167 average vs. RHP over their last 5 games. I think the Marlins win this game and JOhnson gets on track against the Padres who are 27th in the league with a .648 OPS vs. RHP.
