This perhaps counts as a bit of a surprise. I think quite a few people - myself included - expected this category to go to the 13-0 demolition job of the Dodgers in Los Angeles. That included the best hitting performance of the year, in J.D. Martinez’s four home-run game, and arguably the best pitching performance as well, Robbie Ray striking out 14 over 7.2 scoreless innings and flirting with a no-hitter. But it was likely not as dramatic as the Opening Day contest at Chase Field, where the never-say-Diamondbacks were born. They clawed their way back from three separate deficits, to snatch a thrilling walk-off victory, and edged the Dodgers’ game in this poll 37-34%.
