The Red Sox and other teams will learn their 2025 draft position.<\/p>\n<p id=\"LWPGHNMXAFE3PHYJWLSOVWLH34\">Boston finished the 2024 season with an 81-81 record, the major\u2019s 13th-worst record. So the Red Sox\u2019 best odds are to receive the 13th overall pick. For example, they finished the 2023 season with the 12th-worst record and ended up receiving the 12th overall pick.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i><b>BETTING:<\/b><\/i><i> Check out our <\/i>MA sports betting guide<i>, where you can learn basic terminology, definitions and how to read odds for those interested in learning how to bet in Massachusetts.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"4DSWUZU3EVFB7GDC56M5ONQPDY\">So that\u2019s likely how it will play out tonight \u2014 but don\u2019t rule out a Cleveland miracle.<\/p>\n<p id=\"JTH3SUYWVBAYTLTCOJHJW5663M\">The Cleveland Guardians won last year\u2019s lottery despite having a 2% chance and drafted Oregon State\u2019s Travis Bazzana first overall.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4CUB5RNT45FZ5FWOGJRD2C7OOA\">The Red Sox have only a 1.2% chance at the No. 1 overall pick this year. But as last year showed, anything can happen.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5RYNY2YDQ5DILOIIWQCHL4KMXE\">The Rockies and Marlins share the highest odds of winning the top pick. They both have a 22.5% chance.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5HCWPGBLSRC4XE64ZQYUM35WKI\">The Angels have an 18% chance followed by the Nationals at 10.2%, the Blue Jays at 7.5%, the Pirates at 5.3%, the Reds at 3.7%, the Rangers at 2.5%, the Giants at 1.9%, the Rays at 1.5%, the Red Sox at 1.2% and the Twins at 1.1%. All the remaining eligible teams have less than a one percent chance.<\/p>\n<p id=\"VQ4DYWIACBAFLIGDS5TUBMEWOI\">The White Sox finished with MLB\u2019s worst record in 2025, going 41-121. But they are ineligible for the top pick as a revenue sharer payor club that received a lottery pick in 2024. They will draft 10th.<\/p>\n<section>\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>Red Sox receive 15th pick in 2025 MLB Draft<\/li>\n<li>As Red Sox lose out to Yankees on Max Fried, team preps Corbin Burnes offer<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox pursuing free agent Alex Bregman, but internal divide exists<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox trying to add catcher, but it\u2019s slim pickings for Kyle Teel insurance<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox announce earlier start times for some 2025 home games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
