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 Sunday, August 30:

Favorite Bets: 

Pete Crow-Armstrong, Chicago Cubs (+246)

Yes, +246 may not be the most enticing overall, but only Toronto’s Dylan Cease has allowed more stolen bases than Burns, and Crow-Armstrong is an astounding 24-for-27 on stolen base attempts against RHP this season. Furthermore, he’s 8-for-9 in the second half, including a perfect 6-for-6 in the month of August. His 96th percentile sprint speed is no match for Jose Trevino’s ninth percentile pop time, or his measly 13% caught stealing rate when Burns is on the mound.

David Hamilton, Milwaukee Brewers (+376)

Hamilton is hitting .313 over his last 10 games to go along with a .338 wOBA, and if he gets on base today, I like his outlook on the base paths. In seven starts out of the All-Star break, Rocker has surrendered a 4.42 ERA, 4.66 FIP, and 10.4 BB%. However, specifically against left-handed hitters, we see that the Texas righty has posted a .270 BAA, 11.0 BB%, and .318 BABIP. Hamilton has a 94th percentile sprint speed, and while Diaz has a 25% caught stealing rate since joining the Rangers, he’s 0-for-2 with Rocker as his battery mate, and as a whole, catchers only have a 10% caught stealing on the year with Rocker.
