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 7:

Favorite Bets: 

Xavier Edwards, Miami Marlins (+243) – It's been a while since we’ve looked at Edwards in these pages, but things are lined up quite nicely for him tonight. First off, he’s facing Angels right-hander George Klassen, who has been terrible at this level while Edwards continues to post a .374 OBP against righties. The Angels will use either 37-year-old Travis d’Arnaud or journeyman Tyler Heineman behind the plate, and both of them have career caught-stealing rates well below league-average.

JJ Wetherholt, St. Louis Cardinals (+336) – Wetherholt is coming off a fairly impressive series against the Yankees, and while he only had two hits in nine at-bats, he also drew five walks, which we like to see. He’s posting a .362 OBP against righties this season, and he’s not striking out either (under 16-percent K-rate). With him facing Rockies right Ryan Feltner, who has allowed a .364 wOBA to lefties and 11 stolen bases on the year, and catcher Hunter Goodman posting just a 19-percent caught-stealing rate over 43 attempts, we’re going to lock in the Cardinals rookie.
