With the loss on Saturday, the Braves are only three losses behind both the pirates and athletics for the second best lottery opportunities. They are one loss and 1.5 games for the Orioles for the fourth best chances, but 5.5 games for the twins, which are the next team under the Orioles. At this point it seems pretty likely that they will land in the top five of the lottery opportunities, where each place is worth an extra chance of 4-5% in the first overall choice and a higher floor assignment position if the lottery is not in their own way. As a reminder, the Rockies, Nationals, Angels and Cardinals cannot get a top 10 -pick because of the SME. The top six choices are determined by the lottery and the remaining picks are determined on the basis of record. Next year’s design is expected to have a lot of high talent at the top, so this will be worth following if the season is closed.
