What happened: Toronto Blue Jays and San Diego Padres play again Sunday, with the Blue Jays coming off a 5-3 win over the Padres on Saturday. The two clubs enter the finale a combined 91-97 on the season, both hovering below .500 as the trade deadline approaches.

Why it matters: Toronto carries a three-game winning streak into the finale, while San Diego has dropped two straight and four of its last five. With both rosters sub-.500, the same rotation trade market that brought Toronto and San Diego together this weekend looms over how each front office handles the final stretch before the deadline.

By the numbers: Padres: 46-48, last five LLWWL, scoring 3.9 runs and allowing 4.4 per game. Blue Jays: 45-49, last five WWWLL, scoring 4.1 and allowing 4.4 per game. Toronto took the series opener 5-3 on July 10.

What to watch: Toronto is listed with a total of 8.0 for the finale as the market weighs the Blue Jays' three-game streak against a Padres club that has dropped two in a row.
