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 Friday, May 29:

Favorite Bets: 

Corbin Carroll, Arizona Diamondbacks (+246)

Fantastic match-up for the lefty-swinging Carroll who owns a .353 wOBA with a 15-percent walk-rate against righthanded pitching. George Kirby sits on the mound for the Mariners tonight and he’s allowed seven stolen bases on the season and might be delivering to the plate a little slow, given Carroll’s sprint-speed numbers. With Cal Raleigh on the IL, we’re looking at Mitch Garver behind the plate still and that’s another advantage. He’s got a slow pop-time and just an 18-percent caught-stealing rate on 17 attempts against him. You can also look at Geraldo Perdomo (+373) if you want higher odds. I prefer Carroll over him due to the leadoff spot and his higher success-rate on the bases, but if you’re sprinkling a little something around, it should be worth your attention.

Longshot:

Zach Neto, Los Angeles Angels (+459)

While Nick Martinez has only allowed two stolen bases on the year, this play is more about the Angels needing to be more aggressive on the basepaths and doing a good job testing the arms of catchers Nick Fortes and Hunter Feduccia who combine for just a 21.2-percent caught-stealing rate. Neto doesn’t have the greatest success rate and has been caught stealing twice over the last four games, but the important fact is that he is running when he’s on-base. With a .338 wOAB against righties and a .535 wOBA over the past six games, we’ll take a shot on him here.
