Who’s ready for the best stolen base picks today? We closed out last week with a run of six stolen-base cashed bets over five days, and we started this week just as hot.  Could it have been hotter? Well, sure. But AJ Ewing (our free newsletter pick) was caught stealing, and Kevin McGonigle decided a home run was the way to represent himself. Fortunately, Elly De La Cruz came through for yesterday’s picks in the late game and cashed a stolen base prop at +292. Ready for more?

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 Tuesday, September 8:

Favorite Bets: 

Taylor Walls, Tampa Bay Rays (+262)

While Chandler Simpson has the shorter odds, we’re going to lean into Walls, who hits righties better than he hits lefties. Like 50 points higher and sports a .328 OBP against them. Meanwhile, Braves righty AJ Smith-Shawver is allowing right-handed hitters to post a.449 wOBA against him, so I expect Walls to maybe look into some right-handed work today. We already know Drake Baldwin can’t throw out baserunners, so why the heck not?

Bobby Witt, Kansas City Royals (+291)

Sometimes it feels like a bit of a cop-out for the article, but you’re here to cash bets regardless of who the player is, right? Especially when we’re getting some decent odds for Witt, who owns a .361 OBP and 24 stolen bases against right-handed pitching. He’ll face Corbin Burnes, who is making his first start back from injury, so we don’t expect him to have his best stuff or to go very long in this one. Lean into it and enjoy.
