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. Without further ado, here are our top MLB stolen base picks today for Saturday, September 5th::

Favorite Bets: 

Jose Ramirez, Cleveland Guardians (+266)

Ramirez has had success against Framber Valdez in his career at the dish, and overall against lefties in 2026, Ramirez is sporting a .403 OBP, .390 wOBA, and a 100% success rate on stolen base attempts! Dillon Dingler has a 24% caught stealing rate on the year, which is above league average, but he’s yet to catch a runner stealing when Valdez is his battery mate! The Detroit southpaw has a 1.45 WHIP on the year away from home, and since the All-Star break, he has a 1.60 WHIP, and 10.8% walk rate.

Henry Bolte, Athletics (+356)

Bolte may only have one stolen base over his last seven games, but he’s sporting a .417 OBP during that stretch. In the second half, he boasts a .345 OBP against RHP, and today' s opposing pitcher, George Kirby, has a 1.43 WHIP since the All-Star break. Cal Raleigh has a 15% caught stealing rate on the year, which is below the league average, and that mark drops to 11% (1-for-9) when Kirby is his battery mate. Oh, and for what it’s worth, Bolte has a 100th percentile sprint speed.
