"The Braves' recent winning streak propelled them "up" the standings, lowering their odds of securing a relatively early pick in the draft. Tankathon notes that their odds of the first overall pick are less than ten percent; the likely outcome, which can be made far more sinister with an especially bad set of hypothetical rolls, is a pick somewhere in the top eight."
"Of course, the Braves also have three more games to play, which could change things pretty notably. However, they can't really catch the White Sox, Pirates, or Twins, so the jockeying, as it were, is really about what happens this weekend for the Braves relative to the Athletics and Orioles. But hey, here's your chance to directly intercede in favor of some specific flavor of fate."
The Braves' recent winning streak moved them up the standings and reduced their chances of a relatively early draft pick. Tankathon shows the Braves' odds of securing the first overall pick are under ten percent. The most likely result is a selection somewhere in the top eight, though especially poor hypothetical roll outcomes could worsen that position. The Braves have three remaining games that could notably affect draft positioning. The team cannot realistically overtake the White Sox, Pirates, or Twins. Current jockeying centers on this weekend's results relative to the Athletics and Orioles. An opportunity exists to attempt to influence specific outcomes this weekend.
