The third annual MLB Draft lottery is set for Tuesday, with 16 non-playoff teams competing to land the No. 1 overall pick in this year's MLB Draft.
In 2022, the Pirates landed the top pick — and the rights to select Paul Skenes — after entering the lottery tied with the highest odds. Last year, Cleveland won the lottery with mere 2% odds; the Guardians went on to draft Travis Bazzana.
The Rockies and Marlins are tied with the highest odds to land this year's No. 1 overall pick, with a 22.45% likelihood.

How does the MLB Draft lottery work?
The 18 non-playoff teams compete in a lottery for the top six picks in the 2024 MLB Draft.
Two teams, the White Sox and the Athletics, are not eligible for the lottery. As a "payor club," the White Sox cannot receive a lottery pick in consecutive years, and the White Sox received one last season. The Athletics, a "payee club," cannot receive a lottery pick three years in a row; they landed one in 2023 and 2024.
That leaves the Rockies and the Marlins tied with the highest odds to land the first overall pick.
