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 Tuesday, September 1:

Favorite Bets: 

Jose Ramirez, Cleveland Guardians (+273) – While his overall numbers against righties don’t look that great this season, we’re going to ride the hot bat of Ramirez, who has hit safely in three straight and seven of his last eight with two stolen bases and one caught stealing. So he’s running, which we love. Dylan Cease has allowed the most stolen bases of any pitcher this season, and Alejandro Kirk is struggling with a dismal 16-percent caught-stealing rate.

Longshot: 

Shohei Ohtani, Los Angeles Dodgers (+630) – On a day that’s got some tough matchups for stolen bases, we’ll lean into the always dominant Ohtani. The Cardinals are going with what appears to be a bullpen game with bulk relievers like Cade Winquest and Brycen Mautz, so we’ll go with the guy who hits everyone regardless of handedness. Maybe just a half-unit because of the unknown, but Ohtani has three stolen bases in his last 10 games and continues to set the tone for the Dodgers. If we can get Ivan Herrera behind the plate, I’d be inclined to go the full unit, so be sure to check the starting lineups tonight.
