The Colorado Rockies and Miami Marlins have the highest odds of landing the top pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, with each team having a 22.45% chance to secure the number one overall selection. The Los Angeles Angels (17.96%) and Washington Nationals (10.2%) also have better-than-10% odds.
The lottery system determines the first six picks in the draft before the seventh pick is decided by original odds. Despite finishing with the worst record in baseball history, the Chicago White Sox are ineligible for the 2025 lottery due to revenue sharing and receiving a lottery pick last year. The Athletics also cannot participate in three consecutive drafts.
The 2025 MLB Draft Lottery will take place on December 10 at the Winter Meetings in Dallas, with live coverage on MLB Network and streamed on MLB.com. Major League Baseball’s draft begins on July 13 in Atlanta as part of the All-Star Game festivities.
