If he wins, the 29-year-old Argentine will meet in the second round Belgian David Goffin (61) or Spaniard Albert Ramos (43), champion this year at the ATP in Córdoba.
Báez (32), for his part, will play no earlier than 16:30 against Kyrgios (37), finalist this year at Wimbledon and champion this weekend at the ATP 500 in Washington.
The only precedent between the two favors is Kyrgios, who this year won in the opening round of the Indian Wells Masters 1000.
The winner of the match between the Argentine and the Australian will play in the next round against the world number one, the Russian Daniil Medvedev (1)champion this weekend at the Mexican ATP in Los Cabos.
The event, which alternates year after year between Montreal and Toronto, has had two Argentine champions since it began playing in 1968.
Guillermo Vilas raised the trophy in the 1974 and 1976 editions, while Guillermo Cañas won the 2002 edition.
