Yu Darvish or Kyle Hendricks will be the Cubs’ Opening Day starter

In late February, I wrote that it appeared Yu Darvish was on target to start Opening Day, March 26 in Milwaukee.

Wednesday, we learned that it will be either Darvish or Kyle Hendricks:

Darvish is scheduled to start tonight against the Padres at Sloan Park.

Hendricks, who is having a fantastic spring in which he’s looked lights-out in all three of his outings, should next take the mound Friday against the White Sox in Glendale. Jon Lester will go tomorrow against the Dodgers.

Personally, I am a big fan of Hendricks and would be fine with that, but I think Darvish has earned the nod. Manager David Ross could always rearrange the order of his starters before Opening Day.

Either way, the Cubs will have a solid starting pitcher on the mound against the Brewers when the 2020 season opens.

Who do you think should start the opener? Darvish or Hendricks?
