Mainly because you would be swapping a Friday game for a Monday game, which is a smaller payday for the home team. Also the final game of the series is getaway day for the visitors, so it's usually in the afternoon. And having getaway day on a Sunday afternoon brings in a lot more revenue than playing on Monday afternoon.
Yay, they all juice and hit 99 HRs a season...
So, it's only about money. Got it.Mainly because you would be swapping a Friday game for a Monday game, which is a smaller payday for the home team.

Of course it's about the money. Most teams get big crowds on opening day no matter which day of the week it's on. So while having it on a Saturday would be better for a lot of working fans, Game 3 of the opening series would end up drawing a smaller crowd, with fewer $8 hot dogs and $11 beers sold.
