What were the most exciting games in history? Part 2

In Part 1, I had bases.chat, created by SABR member Ted Ingram, add up the absolute value of all Win Probability Added events in every game that have play-by-play data. Then I had it create a list of top games. The idea was that the higher the WPA the more exciting a game was.

The top games were all regular season games. Here I will do the top post-season games. This table has the top 10 post-season games that went 9 innings. Excitement is just the sum of all the WPA events. If you click on the date you will go to the Baseball Reference box score for the game.
