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

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)
