Here is exactly where the Rangers stand heading into the 2025 MLB Draft Lottery

The Texas Rangers enter an important stage for their organization on Tuesday with the 2025 MLB Draft Lottery being held during the Winter Meetings in Orlando.

Entering with a 1.34% chance of landing the draft's first overall pick, the Rangers hold the 11th-best odds of landing the top pick. A tall task but crazy things happen.

Everything you need to know about the Rangers going into the MLB Draft Lottery

Since the 2022 CBA agreement, the MLB Draft Lottery has determined the draft order of the first rounds 18 non-postseason teams for the following year's June draft. In that time, the Rangers have participated in the 2023 and 2025 lottery.

Consisting of 15 of the 18 non-playoff teams, the Chicago White Sox hold the best odds to with 27.7 pecent, Minnesota Twins at 22.2 percent and Pittsburgh Pirates at 16.8 percent. They are followed by the Baltimore Orioles, Athletics, Atlanta Braves, Tampa Bay Rays, St. Louis Cardinals, Miami Marlins Arizona Diamondbacks and then Texas.

The San Francisco Giants, Kansas City Royals, New York Mets and Houston Astros close out the 15 team lottery. Due to having picked in the top six in each of the previous two seasons and and listed as revenue sharing teams, the Colorado Rockies, Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Angels are not eligible for the lottery

Their best finish was in the inaugural draft securing the fourth overall pick, who they turned into Wyatt Langford the following summer. Last season, the luck wasn't as strong, landing the 12th overall pick and used it to grab high schooler Gavin Fien.

The Rangers most likely won’t pick in the top six, in which case they would pick no higher than 14th, and possibly as low as 18, depending on if any teams behind them in the draft order end up in the top six.
