"Pittsburgh won their game on Saturday and Atlanta lost, placing the Braves only 0.5 games behind the Pirates for the second best odds , with the Pirates coming to Atlanta for the final series of the season. The Braves are also 4.5 games clear of the seventh best odds and 4.0 games clear of the sixth best odds. They should be safely within the top 5 in odds, with two weeks remaining in the season."
"That would give the Braves somewhere from 8.72% and 21.00% of a chance at the number one overall pick, plus each spot they gain is one spot higher they would be expected to land if they missed out on the top six spots in the lottery. Atlanta lost another one to Houston, this time 6-2, as Bryce Elder got beat up and Matt Olson hit a homer."
The Braves moved to within 0.5 games of the Pittsburgh Pirates for the second-best draft lottery odds after the Pirates won and Atlanta lost. Pittsburgh will visit Atlanta for the final series of the season. Atlanta sits 4.5 games clear of the seventh-best odds and 4.0 games clear of the sixth-best odds, projecting a secure top-five odds position with two weeks left. That range corresponds to roughly an 8.72% to 21.00% chance at the number one overall pick and each gain improves expected placement if the team misses the top six. On the field, Atlanta lost 6-2 to Houston as Bryce Elder struggled and Matt Olson homered. The Blue Jays called up 22-year-old Trey Yesavage after drafting him in the 2024 first round.
