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, August 28:

Favorite Bets: 

CJ Abrams, Washington Nationals (+276) – We’ve had a nice read on Abrams this year and with a .396 wOBA and 22 steals against right-handed pitching, we’re going to lean on him against Eury Perez, who has allowed the second-most stolen bases in the league this season. Since trading away Liam Hicks, the Marlins' catchers have posted a below-average 24.5-percent caught-stealing rate, so with slower pop times and a slow delivery, we’ll lean on Abrams to cash for us once again.

Randy Arozarena, Seattle Mariners (+432) – We’ve got a bit of a perfect storm brewing over here. Dylan Cease, who’s allowed the most stolen bases in the league, pitches better on the road than he does at home, and his lefty/righty splits don’t really have a big differential. Arozarena hits significantly better on the road, and he has a .366 wOBA with 15 steals against right-handed pitching. Alejandro Kirk and Brandon Valenzuela combine for just a 23.4-percent caught-stealing rate. I’m locking this one down tonight before the odds start to change.
