The Miami Marlins came into the MLB's annual draft lottery tied for the best odds to win the No. 1 pick. They had a 22.45% chance to come home with the evening's top prize. Unfortunately for the Marlins, their worst-case scenario happened.

MLB's lottery system determines the first through six picks by a weighted drawing of non-playoff teams. Some teams can become ineligible for the lottery due to results from previous lotteries, market size and revenue sharing rules. The Marlins were among eligible teams with one of the worst records from last season (62-100), which gave the team a tie for the best odds heading into the night. Along with Miami, the Colorado Rockies also had a 22.45% shot at the No. 1 pick.
