Time for the best stolen base picks for today. It was another tough day for stolen bases as we staked out some potential opportunities with yesterday’s picks, but came up short. But let me remind you of the high-variance we see with stolen bases as they are not a common result day-to-day. Yesterday, we had a full slate of games (15) and saw just 20 stolen bases. To open the comparison, we saw 31 home runs yesterday. Last season we saw 5,650 home runs while only 3,440 stolen bases. You picking up what I’m putting down? It’s not an easy bet. This isn’t an excuse as to why we didn’t hit for the third day in a row. It’s to show you what you are actually up against. This is why the stolen base props are an augmentation to your daily betting card, not something that should be a main focus. But we’re going to try and turn things around on the bases today and check in with the stolen base prop finder and try to bang out some more winning stolen base picks.

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, August 26:

Favorite Bets: 

Bobby Witt, Kansas City Royals (+304)

It’s never a bad time to invest in Witt for stolen bases, especially when he’s up against a pitching tandem of Spencer Miles and Simeon Woods Richardson from Toronto. Neither is capable of keeping Witt off the bases and with catcher Alejandro Kirk posting just a 16-percent caught-stealing rate, we should be good today.

Evan Carter, Texas Rangers (+377)

Squaring up against right-hander Sean Burke, who has allowed the most stolen bases (18) of any pitcher on today’s slate, feels like a good spot to invest in Carter who owns a .320 OBP with 13 stolen bases against righties this season. It sounds like Jake Rogers will be behind the plate today and he’s posting just a 21-percent caught-stealing rate over 29 attempts.
