The only time games aren't made up are when they have no significance in the standings at all. By September 3, nothing is going to be decided, so the game is going to happen.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You are correct about everything you said... but you are wrong about the money. Even if both teams are out of it which is very possible they are still going to play that game. No way in hell the Cubs miss out on that ticket. Outside of the Yankees/Mets this is the MLB's biggest interleague game.

But my point is both teams aren't going to be mathematically out of it by September 3, so money is never going to come into play because the game is going to be played anyway.

Yeah I get that and I agree that both teams will be in it. My point is even if both teams were out of it... that game is being played anyway.
