As expected, the Boston Red Sox won't have a top-six pick in the 2023 MLB Draft.
They entered Tuesday night's inaugural MLB Draft Lottery with a 0.8 percent chance of attaining the No. 1 overall pick and about an eight percent chance of landing inside the top six. The No. 14 overall pick was the overwhelming favorite at 78.9 percent, and that's exactly where they'll select from in the first round next summer.
