The Sox have already locked up the best odds for the #1 pick unless they miraculously win out to end this season. Were safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds don't change if you are 30th, 29th, or 28th as a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 Because this is a Reinsdorf outfit, feels like the Sox will end up picking 7th just like they did all those years they tried to tank under Gar and AKME lol. Just consistently fucked by the odds they try to play by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, we have a stupid lottery to deal with. I just simmed it 10 times. 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 4th, 4th, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope for some collusion and that Manfred feels sorry for Jerry and his pathetic team! 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t the Sox have the best chance at the #1 pick with the Rockies being ineligible, as well as the Nationals and Angels? Seems like the Sox should have been simmed to win it at least once, if not more, with their odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just over 25% even with those things factored in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you have the Bears who are gifted high draft picks only to not know how to make them work. Funny, I tell ya. Hilarious. 🫠 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious. 🫠 The only hope I have for the Bulls is that Matas fell into their lap and he has star if not superstar potential. He will take a big leap this year into one of the better two way players in the league imo. How GMs figured he was only the 11th best prospect in that draft is something.
