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 Sunday, July 5:

Favorite Bets: 

Kevin McGonigle, Detroit Tigers (+421)

So yesterday we invested in McGonigle but got hit with a late pitching change and it was Cal Quantrill on the mound. That messed us up, especially with Quantrill’s quicker pace to the plate. Today is Rocker on the bump so we’re sticking to this play. McGonigle may have lost his four-game hit streak but he’s hit safely in eight of his last 10 with two stolen bases in that span. The lefty rookie, who owns a .415 OBP against right-handed pitching, faces Kumar Rocker who has allowed 11 stolen bases on the year and his catching tandem of Kyle Higashioka and Elias Diaz has a combined caught-stealing rate of just 20.3-percent. Once McGonigle gets on-base, neither catcher will be able to contain him.

Henry Bolte, Athletics (+448)

We’re staying with the longer odds today because this matchup is definitely a prime spot for us. Mind you, Zack Gelof at similar odds is also in play but we’re going to go with Bolte who has an elite sprint-speed that’s better than Gelof’s and a rock-solid 79-percent success rate, Yes, Gelof has a stronger success rate but he’s also just one game back from the IL. Bolte, whether he’s batting leadoff or further into the order, is on a three-game hit streak and posts a .340 wOBA against right-handed pitching. We know Eury Perez allows the most stolen bases of any pitcher in MLB and his catching tandem has just a 23.5-percent caught stealing rate. Bolte shouldn’t disappoint.
