The Chicago White Sox won the 2026 MLB draft lottery Tuesday and will pick first in next summer's draft.
The White Sox had the best odds to get the top pick at 27.73% after finishing 60-102 in the 2025 season.
Tuesday's draft lottery determined the first six spots of the first round, with the remaining picks being set in inverse order of the teams' regular-season records.
The Tampa Bay Rays will select at No. 2, followed by the Minnesota Twins at No. 3. Rounding out the six lottery picks were the San Francisco Giants , Pittsburgh Pirates and Kansas City Royals .
The league-worst Colorado Rockies (43-119) were not eligible for this year's lottery because they received lottery picks in consecutive drafts (2024 and '25). They will pick 10th in the draft.
