The 2017 World Series proved to be one of the most entertaining championship series in Major League Baseball history. The 113th edition of the Fall Classic featured the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Dodgers in a seven-game thriller. The Astros were able to win their first World Series in franchise history as they defeated the Dodgers four games to three, including an emphatic 5-1 victory in game seven.

In a year where Major League Baseball set the record for most total home runs ever hit in the regular season, the long-ball trend continued throughout the duration of the postseason.
