If I told you that you could cash a +250 bet every day for the last two weeks, would you do it? I’m not in the business of giving out guarantees, but Bobby Witt stealing a base at +270 for yesterday’s picks now gives us 15 cashed bets over my last 12 articles. I’m not even going to get into how much money I am up betting these right now. Snooze, you lose, and if I’m only helping my nearest and dearest friends, so be it.

Best MLB Stolen Base Picks Today:

Locking in the best stolen base predictions means finding the absolute perfect storm of a high-on-base runner and a weak battery. We’ve got an interesting group of notable base-stealers at shorter odds, so here are our top two MLB stolen base picks today for Wednesday, September 16:

Favorite Bets: 

Dane Myers, Cincinnati Reds (+284) – Despite it being a tough matchup with Blake Snell on the bump, we’re going to lean into Myers, who actually has an impressive .374 wOBA with an 11.3-percent walk rate against southpaws. He’s also got five stolen bases against lefties over just 133 plate appearances. Dodgers catchers have a combined caught-stealing rate of just 18.6-percent so look for the Reds to be aggressive. 

Wade Meckler, Los Angeles Angels (+600) – Let’s have a little fun, shall we? This is going to be a nice test to see who’s actually paying attention. The lefty-swinging Meckler has a .356 wOBA with a 10.1-percent walk rate against righties, and we’re squaring off against Mariners right-hander George Kirby, who has allowed 22 stolen bases on the year. Add to it Cal Raleigh’s horrendous 14-percent caught-stealing rate over 56 attempts. Considering how up we are on our picks lately, a full unit here for me, even at these odds. Good luck out there.
