To the shock of no one, it appears that Aaron Nola will get the ball for Philadelphia Phillies on Opening Day in Miami on March 26.

Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer says that despite Nola being scratched from his Grapefruit League start Monday because of the flu, it appears that he will start in the team’s first regular season game of the season:

Girardi smiled Monday when asked if the Phillies have decided who will start for them on opening day, knowing it’s almost an open secret that it will be Nola.
