    The 1 in 294 chances puts things in perspective. The .34% seems rather minuscule.

    It’s unlikely but completely within the realm of possibilities to win the #1 pick in the lottery.

    Imagine if someone had those odds for winning the powerball; how many folks would put their entire life savings to have those types of odds for winning 1 billion dollars.

    I know it’s slim to none, but slim still slinking around… lol

    I would be happy with any of the 6 drawn??
    Is that the number of teams that get drawn today???

    Yes. Getting a top 6 pick would be one of the biggest things to happen to the Astros in the last decade. If they played their cards right even with just the #6 pick, they could come out of the draft with 6-7 of the top 100 eligible players, completely revitalizing their farm and giving them one of the 3-4 best systems in the league when only assessing the lower levels. This week and the next draft will define Dana Browns career as a GM.

    That’s a better chance than Altuve getting in the hof on the first ballot
