2025 MLB Draft Odds: Ethan Holliday Clear Favorite To Go No. 1
The 2025 MLB Draft is less than a month away with the two-day event occurring July 13-14 during MLB All-Star Week in Atlanta. The Washington Nationals are gearing up to make the No. 1 pick, and bettors are diving into the action and wagering on which prospect will come off the board first. Currently, Ethan Holliday is at the top of the board at -110. He's the son of former MLB infielder Matt Holliday and brother of Orioles' second baseman Jackson Holliday. For what it's worth, Jackson was drafted with the No. 1 pick in the 2022 draft. Will another prospect rain on the Holliday family or is Ethan far enough ahead of the field that the No. 1 spot is his to lose? Here are the latest odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of June 23. Number 1 Pick 2025 MLB Draft Ethan Holliday: -110 (bet $10 to win $19.09 total)Kade Anderson: +210 (bet $10 to win $31 total)Seth Hernandez: +900 (bet $10 to win $100 total)Liam Doyle: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)Jamie Arnold: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)Aiva Arquette: +1300 (bet $10 to win $140 total)Any Other Player: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)Billy Carlson: +6500 (bet $10 to win $660 total)Kyson Witherspoon: +8000 (bet $10 to win $810 total) Jace LaViolette: +15000 (bet $10 to win $1,510 total) Ethan is the clear favorite at -110, but Kade Anderson is not too far behind at +210. Anderson has gone 12-1 with a 3.18 ERA this season over 19 starts for the LSU Tigers. After Holliday and Anderson, there's a sizable gap. Highly touted high school prospect Seth Hernandez rounds out the top three at +900. Hernandez is the 6-foot-4, 18-year-old phenom from Corona, Ca., who has committed to take his pitching talents to Vanderbilt. In his junior year in high school, he went 9-0 with a 0.62 ERA while hitting .352 with eight home runs and 34 RBIs, which helped the right-hander earn Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year honors.
