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 Thursday, August 13:

Favorite Bets: 

Pete Crow-Armstrong, Chicago Cubs (+261) – He’s been one of the more reliable hitters this season, and he’s easily cashed for us with the stolen bases on more than just one occasion. Let’s ride the lefty leadoff man against righty Cade Cavalli, who is allowing lefties to post a .339 wOBA against him. Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz has a below-average 22-percent caught-stealing rate on 50 attempts, so let’s put him to the test in this one. I’m betting we come out on top. 

Brice Turang, Milwaukee Brewers (+294) – A bit of a tougher matchup facing Roki Sasaki, but the Dodgers catchers have a combined caught-stealing rate of just 19.2 percent. Turan has hit safely on six of his last seven games and has one stolen base and two caught-stealing, so you know he’s being aggressive once he gets on-base. Definitely worth throwing a unit on him, maybe sprinkle a half-unit on Garrett Mitchell.
