While there is a betting favorite, it's not a done deal just yet as a few other players are listed at 10/1 or shorter.
Let's take a look at the current MLB betting odds for which player will be selected first overall at the 2023 first-year player's draft on Sunday, July 9.

We're just a few days away from the 2023 MLB Draft as it coincides with MLB's annual All-Star break. The Pittsburgh Pirates will be first on the clock in what figures to be a college-heavy opening round, at least near the top of the draft.
While there is a betting favorite, it's not a done deal just yet as a few other players are listed at 10/1 or shorter.
Let's take a look at the current MLB betting odds for which player will be selected first overall at the 2023 first-year player's draft on Sunday, July 9.
2023 MLB Draft: Odds to go first overall Player (Position - School) Paul Skenes (RHP - LSU) -165 +110 -165 Dylan Crews (OF - LSU) +180 +150 +160 Max Clark (OF - Franklin high school) +650 +500 +600 Wyatt Langford (OF - Florida) +800 +1,200 +900 Walker Jenkins (OF - South Brunswick High School) +8,000 +7,500 +8,000 Chase Dollander (RHP - Tennessee) +10,000 +11,000 +10,000 Rhett Lowder (RHP - Wake Forest) +15,000 +11,000 +12,500 Kyle Teel (C - Virginia) +15,000 +11,000 +12,500 Noble Meyer (RHP - Jesuit High School) +20,000 +11,000 +15,000 Odds as July 5, 2023. Favorites to be picked first overall in the 2023 MLB draft 7/5/2023:Â Right-handed pitcher Paul Skenes throws absolute gas, consistently hitting 100-101 on the radar gun and rarely dipping below 96. His four-seamer averaged 98 during this college season as he helped lead the LSU Tigers to College World Series glory. Skenes went 12-2 with a 1.69 ERA and a whopping 209 strikeouts in 122 2/3 innings (15.3 K/9). The Athletic's Keith Law has Skenes pegged to go to the Pirates with the top pick and it's easy to see why. He has a plus slider to go along with the heater and at 21, he likely won't need much more seasoning before being MLB-ready. He's getting short odds across the board, but FanDuel is offering him at slight plus money, which is wild with -165 seemingly the norm.
Skenes' teammate Dylan Crews could immediately follow the flame-thrower — and is likely his top competition for the top pick if the Pirates pivot from expectation — and it would mark the first time in MLB Draft history that teammates were selected 1-2. The slugging outfielder was almost as impressive with the bat as Skenes was on the mound in 2023, hitting .426 with a 1.280 OPS and 18 home runs in 71 games. If he does go to the Nats, he would give Washington an impressive outfield tandem alongside top prospect James Wood (acquired in the Juan Soto trade last summer).
Should the Pirates elect to target offense, Crews could easily go with the top pick.Â
The top high schooler on the board is outfielder Max Clark. The 18-year-old from Indiana grades out as having plus tools in four categories, including his hitting ability, which is seen as plus-plus to some, according to MLB Pipeline. While he is committed to Vanderbilt, a Top-3 pick plus above-slot value will probably sway his decision. There is an outside chance, at least now, that the Pirates take him, but Pittsburgh may want someone closer to being big-league-ready.
Wrapping up the players with 10/1 odds or shorter is Florida outfielder Wyatt Langford — who is the third-rated prospect in this class, per MLB Pipeline. A multi-sport athlete in high school, the Gator emerged as a top-shelf baseball player in his sophomore season at Florida when he hit 26 home runs (tying a school record) with a .356/.447/.719 slash line. He didn't hit for as much power in 2023 (21 homers) but he hit ....
