The Chicago White Sox received the No. 1 pick during the MLB Draft Lottery on Tuesday, with the Tampa Bay Rays and Minnesota Twins rounding out the top three picks.

The MLB Draft Lottery determines the first six picks of the first round in next year's draft. Postseason teams are excluded from being entered into the draw for the top six picks. 

Chicago had the highest chances to win the No. 1 pick at 27.1%. They finished last season with the second-worst record (60-102) in all of baseball.

1. Chicago White Sox

2. Tampa Bay Rays
