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 Friday, September 18:

Favorite Bets: 

Jonah Cox, San Francisco Giants (+248) – Cox is currently riding a seven-game hit streak where he's slashing .345 with a .387 on-base percentage and four stolen bases. Obviously, facing Tyler Glasnow is a tall order, but with the way he’s pitched lately – eight earned runs with 11 hits and seven walks over just 10 innings (two starts), things are certainly looking up for Cox. We can also look at the Dodgers and their well below-average 21-percent caught-stealing rate. We’ll all be screaming for more Cox after this game.

Wyatt Langford, Texans Rangers (+433)  – At the beginning of my heater, we used Langford as a nice long-shot pick, and we’ll go back to the well here again. He’s the only one on Texas I trust to successfully hit Dylan Cease, who has allowed 31 stolen bases this season. Obviously, it doesn’t help that Alejandro Kirk is only rocking a 14-percent caught-stealing rate. Well, it helps us. We don’t care what it does for Cease. Langford has the skill set and the sprint speed to get on base and steal one for us tonight. Go get ‘em!
