If you’re looking for the best stolen base picks for today, you have certainly come to the right place. Hopefully, you tailed yesterday’s picks because, if you did, you came out a winner as Pete Crow-Armstrong swiped a bag and cashed a +292 bet for us. Our other pick, Jake McCarthy, was voided as he did not play. We warned you of his illness from the day before, but unlike Wednesday’s game, he did not enter late as a pinch-hitter or pinch-runner, so no harm, no foul. The streak is alive at two straight days, and it’s time to make it three in a row. With the help of our new stolen base prop finder, it’s time to dive into the research and deliver the best in MLB stolen base picks today.

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, June 12:

Favorite Bets: 

Jose Ramirez, Cleveland Guardians (+259) – Ramirez tends to hit lefties better than he does righties, but he’s actually batting .278 over 28 at-bats against veteran Jack Flaherty, who struggles against most hitters anyway. In fact, he’s allowing a .372 wOBA to lefty hitters, which is where we expect the switch-hitting Ramirez to be today. The Guardians' second baseman has 24 steals on the season, a 92.3-pecent success rate and a sprint speed near the elite levels. Flaherty has only allowed three steals on the season, likely because he tends to walk a number of guys each game, but with catcher Dillon Dingler struggling through a 13-percent caught-stealing rate over 23 attempts, we’ll expect to see Ramirez running aggressively out there. 

Evan Carter, Texas Rangers (+355) – While Carter has hit safely in four straight games and has a  .320 OBP with a 13.3-percent walk rate against righties, this pick is more about the Boston Red Sox battery than it is about Carter. Don’t get me wrong, he’s got 10 steals on the season with a 100-percent success rate and a strong 28.8 sprint speed, and that’s fantastic. Exactly what we want. But Red Sox righty Sonny Gray has allowed six stolen bases on the season, is allowing lefty hitters to post a .329 wOBA against him, and his new catcher, Mickey Gasper, has yet to catch a base-stealer since his call-up in early May. That’s right: seven successful attempts and a zero-percent caught-stealing rate.
