are you along the coast, or more inland where it’s getting warm? if you’re closer to the coast, i would add a few more days between waterings!  
if you’re more inland: are they getting too much sun?

I’m in Northern California it has been 85-90 degrees

Hmm, i’m not too sure i’m so sorry! maybe try spacing out your watering to every 3-4 days to see if that helps?  
i also found a cornell article about strawberries and i included screenshots!

Do you water them when it’s hot and sunny? It might be better to water late at night after sunset so they don’t get scorched
