At the beginning of September the Yankees were NOT assured of winning the wild card. In fact, they were still behind Seattle and toward the middle of the month Detroit was within 2.5 games of them. So playing balls out had about nothing to do with winning the division and everything to do with desperately trying to make the playoffs. But from the Red Sox view looking down I'm sure it looked like they were desperately trying to catch them.

What about last week? They have pretty much had a spot in the post-season wrapped up for at least two weeks. There were/are some guys on that team that definitely could have rested last week.
