The Major League Baseball Draft Lottery will take place for the third time this offseason, with teams getting a chance for the first overall pick based on their 2024 records. According to Baseball America, the Pittsburgh Pirates will have a 5.31% chance of the first overall pick, which gives them the sixth best odds.
The lottery determines the order of the first six picks of the draft. The Pirates might not get the first overall pick, but they have a chance to get a high pick in this draft. Their chances were boosted when the White Sox and Athletics were removed from the draft.
