WHAT'S BREWING TODAY Monday, June 20 On Today's Scorecard PAC-12 Overhaul

The Pac-12 Conference has struggled with keeping relevance in recent years, but scooping up some of the Mountain West talent can change that. The MWC has consistently been one of the strongest Group of 5 conferences, headlined by promising programs like Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, and even Air Force. Adding four names of their caliber would be a monumental step in the right direction for the Pac-12, as it would then equal the size of the upcoming 16-team SEC, while also having the potential to surpass the Big 12 in both competitiveness and depth. If you can combine that with the thoughts of Utah remaining as a Rose Bowl contender and Lincoln Riley making a playoff hopeful out of USC, then the Pac-12 could be one of the best-looking conferences on paper.

San Diego's Yu Darvish is 4-1 with a 1.35 ERA and a 0.60 WHIP at home this season. He's also 15-4 in his last 19 home team starts, as well as 3-0 in his last three home starts against Arizona. It's safe to say he enjoys home cooking.
