The Norfolk Tides released their next five starters and Alec Asher is scheduled to start Monday, April 10th against Gwinnett if there are no rain outs. Why is that interesting? Because that would make his next start on April 15th, the same day the Orioles will need a 5th starter.

You would think so. I'd suspect it. Or Wright.

Yeah, weams fixed it for me, sorry about that.

My guess is Aquino on 5 days rest as the  favorite.  But any of these guys could be called on depending on who is pitching  well.

It's got to be a righty vs that TOR lineup.  I don't want Aquino making his MLB debut in Toronto having to face 9 RH's.  Same thing for Nuno.  Toronto is a bad matchup for LH's.  I'd think Asher, Ynoa, Wright and Wilson have the advantage.  At least TOR hasn't seen Asher and Ynoa a lot.  They have seen a ton of Wright and Wilson and it hasn't been pretty.

Is he on the 40 man? with options? If so, why not? Have Wilson ready in case he falters.

[Aristotelian]

Ynoa (my pick) isn't lined up well at all, unless they skip his second start. Other option would be to bring Tyler Wilson or Nuno out of the bullpen.

Good call.  Thanks
