Heading into the 2025 MLB Draft this weekend, the Atlanta Braves will have to make the most of the 22nd overall pick to ensure their future is in a better spot. However, this frustrating season could have them positioned for the top pick next year.
According to Tankathon, the Braves have the fourth-best odds for the first-overall pick in the 2026 draft at 10.87%. The Chicago White Sox and The Athletics are tied for the best odds at 23.92%. The Pittsburgh Pirates are third at 14.49%.
Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies, despite their nightmare season, are ineligible for a pick higher than 10.
