As the season winds down, we continue to track the draft lottery for the Braves. Things are really tight from spots 2-7, as only 3.0 games separate the Twins with the second best odds and the Orioles, with the seventh best odds. The Braves are sitting at the fourth best odds right now, with an 11.5% chance at the number one overall pick. That said, they are only 2.0 games behind the Twins for the second best odds, 0.5 games behind the Pirates for the third best odds, and 1.0 game ahead of the Marlins
at the fifth best odds. There could be a lot of shuffling in this top seven as the season finishes up, before the lottery shakes things up again. The Braves’ last series of the season is in Atlanta against the Pirates, so that could have serious lottery ramifications.
