Picks 1-6 are determined by a weighted lottery drawing of non-playoff teams

Teams receiving revenue sharing cannot be selected in the lottery more than two years in a row

Teams paying revenue sharing cannot be selected in the lottery in consecutive years

Picks 7-18 are the remaining lottery teams, ordered by winning percentage

Playoff teams are grouped by the round in which they are eliminated, with revenue sharing recipients picking first

Teams eliminated in the Wild Card Round get picks 19-22

Teams eliminated in the Divisional Round get picks 23-26

Teams eliminated in the League Championship Series get picks 27-28

World Series loser gets pick 29

World Series winner gets pick 30

Ties are broken using the previous year's standings, with worse record winning the tiebreaker

If a team fails to sign their pick, they are awarded a compensatory pick in the next draft (one spot worse than the unsigned pick)
