oh my...Seattle won from the 17th spot last year, so Mets are a threat to bumping us down...the odds are unlikely, but again...M's in 2025, Reds in 2024. It has happened
Only 15 spots I believe this time with the 3 that were eliminated.

Here are the odds of each eligible team receiving the first overall pick in next summer’s draft, per MLB.com:

White Sox – 27.73%
Twins – 22.18%
Pirates – 16.81%
Orioles – 9.24%
Athletics – 6.55%
Braves – 4.54%
Rays – 3.03%
Cardinals – 2.35%
Marlins – 1.85%
Diamondbacks – 1.51%
Rangers – 1.34%
Giants – 1.01%
Royals – 0.84%
Mets – 0.67%
Astros – 0.34%
Give me $20 down on the Mets winning. That 0.67% seems a little low considering what rules are being adjusted for them accordingly.
67
