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, August 29:

Favorite Bets: 

Luke Keaschall, Minnesota Twins (+440)

Keaschall is sporting a .399 OBP out of the All-Star break, and opponents have had success running on Fedde this year. Keaschall has an 87th percentile sprint speed on the year, and while Drew Romo has an above average 26% caught stealing rate on the year, catchers as a whole only have a 16.7% caught stealing rate with Fedde on the mound. The Twins don’t run a ton as a team, but Keaschall certainly will, and the White Sox have the sixth-most stolen bases attempted against them in 2026.

Elly De La Cruz, Cincinnati Reds (+358)

Despite recording just one stolen base over his last six games, De La Cruz is on fire at the dish, posting a .433 OBP and .474 wOBA during that stretch. For what it’s worth, he’s a perfect 9-for-9 on stolen base attempts on the road, and he has an 81.8% success rate since the All-Star break (9-for-11). We want to see Carson Kelly behind the dish today, as he has a 16% caught stealing rate on the year, and he’s caught just one of the last eight runners who have attempted to run on him.
