Welcome to the inaugural MLB draft lottery.
The Detroit Tigers have the sixth-best odds to land the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft during the league’s first-ever draft lottery Tuesday night, which will determine the order for the first six spots.
The Tigers were a large disappointment in 2022, finishing 66-96, for their sixth consecutive losing season. They can drop as far as the 11th pick or move all the way up to No. 1. All eighteen teams to miss the postseason are participating in the lottery, though only seven have a greater than 5% chance to win the top selection.
