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. Without further ado, here are our top MLB stolen base picks today for Saturday, September 26th:
Favorite Bets:
Oneil Cruz, Pittsburgh Pirates (+395)
Cruz is up to 30 stolen bases on the season, but a few more won’t hurt! On top of three stolen bases over his last eight games, he’s slashing .387/.441/.645 during that stretch, and he’ll take on Justin Verlander, who was incredibly underwhelming in his first start of the year. Dillon Dingler has a 24% caught-stealing rate, which is above the league average, but he’s caught just two of the last 10 base stealers. Cruz has attempted nine stolen bases this month (21 G), so I’d expect his willingness to run to continue as the regular season comes to an end.
Bryson Stott, Philadelphia Phillies (+438)
Despite a sub-.300 average over his last eight games (.296), a 15.2% walk rate has his OBP up to .406, and it’s a must-win game for the Phillies. Stott is a perfect 26-for-26 on stolen base attempts this year, and 23 of those 26 stolen bases have come against RHP. Griffin Jax’s 2.1% stolen-base attempt rate is above the league average of 1.3%, and his battery mate, Liam Hicks, has a 20% caught-stealing rate this year, in line with the league average.
