Play - NY Yankees w/Cole vs. Verlander (Game 969).
Edges - Yankees: Cole 11-3 with 2.84 ERA and 1.14 WHIP this season; and Pinstripes 12-4 in Inter-league games this season; and 14-7 versus losing foes this season … Mets: Verlander 4.85 ERA and 1.33 WHIP this season, including 2-4 at night; and Mets 6-16 versus foes with a winning record this season … With Cole not having been installed as a dog in each of his last 64 starts, and the Mets.
