What happened: MLB Network spotlighted how Cole's fastball plays at Tropicana Field while revisiting his long-run numbers under a roof. The split

Why it matters: That matters more in October, when one start can swing a series and ballpark conditions become part of the matchup. It also arrives after Cole allowed seven homers in two starts as the playoffs neared, leaving his recent form under a brighter light.

What to watch: Watch whether the Yankees lean on Cole in a Tropicana Field spot and whether the fastball carries the same way in a postseason outing.
