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 6:

Favorite Bets: 

Pete Crow-Armstrong, Chicago Cubs (+256)

Let’s take a look at the new odds-on favorite for the NL MVP and use him for one of our picks today. PCA is facing Dylan Cease which is a tall order in unto itself, but while ease does a good job against everyone, he still has his struggles against lefthanded hitting. Meanwhile, PCA destroys right-handed pitching, posting a .396 wOBA against them, but, more importantly, he’s got 21 stolen bases to his credit against righties and that’s something we’ll lean into.

Bobby Witt, Kansas City Royals (+391)

He’s been back from injury for a couple of days and all looks good for Witt here against the Twins Bailey Ober. Not only does he have a .339 wOBA and 21 steals against righties this season, for those who like a little BvP data in their lives, Witt is batting .429 (12-for-28) in his career against Ober. Add to it the Twins catchers posting a combined caught-stealing rate of just 15.1-percent and we’ve got a real nice set-up for a stolen base tonight.
