Best playoff pitching matchup in history?

The baseball-reference blog points out that Tim Lincecum and Roy Halladay both turned in top-10 all-time gamescores in their first starts this postseason and ponders if it’s the best playoff pitching matchup in history. Kinda hard to top Roger Clemens-Pedro Martinez in the 1999 ALCS — even if Clemens got torched that night and was coming off a bad season. Also of note: Owner of the third-best postseason pitching gamescore ever? You guessed it: Babe Ruth.
