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 Thursday, May 28:

Favorite Bets: 

Evan Carter, Texas Rangers (+287)

Is it the 100-percent success rate on nine stolen base attempts? Is it the elite-level sprint speed? It must be, because we’ve got a tough catcher in Christian Vasquez behind the dish for the Astros and he’s sporting a 33-percent caught-stealing, so there is certainly some risk involved. Still, the Rangers have been somewhat aggressive on the bases and Carter is one of their top guys. He should find his way on-base against Arrighetti and once he does, we should see some movement.

Longshot:

Jarren Duran, Boston Red Sox (+373)

Another guy with a 100-percent success rate on the bases; this time in 10 attempts. Duran has had his issues with left-handed pitching and Chris Sale is no joke. But if he manages to get on-base – he’s got a 10.4-percent walk rate against southpaws and is also rocking a four-game hit streak, then he can put the Braves catchers and their feeble 11.5-percent caught-stealing rate to the test.
