Gerrit Cole thrives on 'the stakes' as he prepares for Game 2 of ALCS on Tuesday
Cole has done especially well in his career against Cleveland – both in the regular season and postseason. Cole is 7-2 with a 2.82 ERA vs. the Guardians and 4-0 with a 1.98 ERA against them in the playoffs (the first of those four starts came in 2018 when Cole was with the Astros).
