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. Here are our top two MLB stolen base picks today for Tuesday, June 2:

Favorite Bets: 

Ronald Acuna, Jr., Atlanta Braves (+187)

It’s a chalky pick, but the odds are still very much in our favor. There’s lots to like about this match-up and pick, starting with Acuna’s recent surge. He’s hit safely in four-straight games, homered in all four and has five stolen bases in his last five games. There’s even a caught-stealing from yesterday’s action, so he’s running and we’re all-in for it. Acuna has a tough matchup against Kevin Gausman, but he’s sporting a .407 OBP with a 14.8-percent walk-rate against righties, so I’m not too worried about him getting on-base. The Jays have been rolling with Brandon Valenzuela behind the dish and he’s sitting on just a 24-percent caught-stealing rate over 33 attempts. Considering he didn’t open the year as the Jays primary backstop, you can see just how heavily runners are testing him.

Longshot:

Juan Soto, New York Mets (+500)

With Mariners righthander Logan Gilbert striking out fewer batters and posting a 5.67 ERA at home this season, we’re going to pick on him, especially with Mitch Garver and his 18-percent caught-stealing rate over 17 attempts. You can look at both Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing, who both have similar odds, bit neither has the on-base work that Soto has. He’s hit safely on five of his last six games and he’s done some running this season. Not a ton of it, but enough to hold a 71.4-percent success rate which should keep things interesting here.
