question for the group. im sure it has been covered but haveing a hard time finding when i research hear. anyways. with SB as the contest this month. i understand to steal second with the best card. its 20-16 to be save. subtracting the Pitchers hold and the catchers throw. what is the best for stealing 3rd and home? the odds have to go down but not sure how much. if anyone knows and would like to give a answer it would be much helpful. thanks in advance

Say a runner has a steal rating of *3-7 (20-16).

He can't try to steal 3rd if he doesn't get his lead. For this, the sum of two dices must fall within 3-7.

He succeeds in stealing 3rd if the 20-roll dice falls within the second number (16) plus or minus the adjustments of hold and arm ratings.
