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 Saturday, August 8:

Favorite Bets: 

Jake McCarthy, Colorado Rockies – It’s not often we get to invest in some legitimate lefty-on-lefty crime, but here we go. Cardinals southpaw Matthew Liberatore, who has allowed 14 stolen bases this season, also struggles against same-handed hitting. Lefties are posting a .372 wOBA against him. Funny enough, McCarthy is a lefty who hits lefties well. We’re talking a .389 wOBA against them.  Couple that with a Cardinals catching group that has just an 18.6-percent caught-stealing rate and we’ve got a winner for today!

Chandler Simpson, Tampa Bay Rays (+234) – The odds for Simpson are back to a better payout for us, and it’s probably due to George Kirby’s dynamic start last time out. But if you look at Kirby’s game log, he’s been giving up a lot of hits lately, and as a result, the runners are being more aggressive. He’s allowed 14 stolen bases this season, second-most on today’s slate, and his catchers are posting just a 22.8-percent caught-stealing rate. Simpson has a solid .351 OBP against righties, so when he gets on base, I expect him to test the Mariners and succeed.
