The highly anticipated 2025 MLB Draft Lottery is set to take place on Tuesday, Dec. 10, where the order of the top 18 selections will be determined. Last year saw the Cleveland Guardians defy the odds to secure the top overall pick, raising the question of whether another surprise could be in store this year.
The event will be broadcast live on MLB Network and streamed online on MLB.com, with the drawing process determining the teams’ odds based on their performance in the previous season. Teams like the Colorado Rockies and Miami Marlins hold the highest chances of securing the coveted No. 1 pick.
Certain teams, including the Chicago White Sox and Oakland A’s, are ineligible for lottery picks due to their previous success and revenue-sharing status. The final 12 first-round picks will be determined by the playoff clubs’ performance and revenue-sharing status.
The MLB Draft Lottery serves as an exciting precursor to the 2025 MLB Draft, scheduled to take place from July 13-15 in Atlanta. As baseball fans eagerly await the outcome of the lottery, speculation is rife as to which team will come out on top and secure the No. 1 pick in next year’s draft.
