I believe floor for 4th would be 10. But the bad news there is that Washington, LAA and St Louis could all be locked into those 10-12 spots. I think the chance of us going from 4 to 10 was less than 1% though.
 
I honestly feel this team is locked in the top 4 best odds. Be nice to get into that 2/3 spot but I would feel great about the 4th best odds

So do I. It may come down to that Pittsburg series. I'm hoping for top 3 and the SS from UCLA slides to us somehow.

We should lose today against Valdez so maybe the Pirates and Twins can pull one out today. A lot of ours may come down to that Pirates series. That last week there should be no reason we see Acuna or Sale play. Don't risk it.
 
The Braves will probably randomly sweep the Tigers and wind up screwing things up.
Shades of 2016 when the Braves had a top 2 pick lined up and finished the year picking 5th. They finished the year 12-2 after they reached the bottom of 56-91.

They did get Kyle Wright who was extremely helpful to the organization, but picked in front of them that next draft was Royce Lewis, Mackenzie Gore and Hunter Greene.
 
Braves will need to finish a game worse than the Twins since the Braves swept that series this year. Looking at remaining schedules for both teams, that looks like a tall task.
Bummer, I didn’t realize that. We really might be close to locked into the 4 spot.

My understanding is that ties are based off the previous years record not the current years season series
 
Not a good day for Tankathon:

Braves win
Pirates lose
Marlins lose
Orioles lose
Twins losing in the 8th
Athletics and Angels losing but still really early
