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)
Dugouts clear in Dodgers vs. Padres. Is this the best rivalry in sports?
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.
