MLB.com's Corey Brock believes Tyson Ross could be the favorite to open the season as the Padres' No. 5 starter.
Ross hasn't allowed a run in his last 11 1/3 innings this spring and boasts a 2.76 ERA with 13 strikeouts over 16 1/3 frames overall. He'll get a chance to state his case again on Friday, when he's scheduled to go six innings..
