Orioles 28-72
KC 30-68 - 3.0GB

As a reminder, if they somehow end up in a tie, the O's get the #1 pick based on having the worst record of the two in 2017.

Is there any indication at this point as to whether the top of the 2019 draft is relatively strong?

This is just hilarious. “We quit for Witt” or to steal from another poster “Play like s**t for Witt”

It's too early to know how strong the draft will be. There are differing opinions on who's projected at the top, though names like high schooler's Bobby Witt, Jr (SS) and Rece Hinds (3B), along with Oregon State's stand-out catcher Adley Rutschman are mentioned a lot.

For the 2019 class, there is a top tier of five prep standouts, while the college side is very deep in hitters. College pitching is very shallow at this early juncture, however. On the prep side, we have SS C.J. Abrams (Georgia), SS Bobby Witt, Jr. (Texas), LHP Hunter Barco (Florida), 3B Rece Hinds (Florida), and RHP Brennan Malone (North Carolina).

Atop the very deep college hitter class, we have SS Bryson Stott (UNLV), C Adley Rutschman (Oregon State), SS Logan Davidson (Clemson), C Shea Langliers (Baylor), SS Greg Jones (UNC Wilmington), RF Michael Toglia(UCLA), 3B Josh Jung (Texas Tech), RF Michael Busch (North Carolina), RF Matt Wallner (Southern Miss), and SS Braden Shewmake (Texas A&M).

I imagine these rankings change a lot next spring, it's still early to tell.
