It’s a 5-horse race, and down the stretch they come!
Pardon the shameless Kentucky Derby reference, but it’s fitting when trying to handicap the Pac-12 baseball title race. With three weekends left, three games separate the top five teams in the chase to win the regular season title and, for the first time, the No. 1 seed in a postseason conference tournament.
Oregon State (35-9, 15-6) holds a one-game lead on UCLA (30-14, 14-7), with Arizona (32-15, 13-8) and Oregon (28-16) two games out. Stanford (26-14, 12-9) is also in striking distance for the top spot.
The top four teams play a combined 12 games against each other over the last three weeks, including the final weekend when Arizona visits Oregon and UCLA hosts OSU.
