Currently, Travis Bazzana has the shortest odds to come off the board first at +120. The native of Sydney, Australia and Oregon State second baseman was recently named a first-team All-American.
Will the Aussie hear his name called first on July 14, or will JJ Wetherholt — the 5-foot-10 infielder out of West Virginia — pass him on both the oddsboard and the draft board?
Let’s dive into the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of July 4.
