Well, for one obvious thing, the WS doesn't count in Cy Young voting....
  Innings Hits Walks Earned Runs K's WAR WHIP ERA  
Verlander 223 137 42 64 300 7.8 .80 2.58  
Cole 212 142 48 59 326 6.9 .89 2.50  

Beyond that, explain to me why Cole is the clear winner Verlander?

 

Verlander pitched more innings but allowed fewer hits and walks.  Cole had more strikeouts and had a slightly lower ERA.  

I mean, I can SEE an argument for Cole, but I don't think it's clear by any means.  Given the closeness of the stats, I'd probably lean towards Verlander just because he pitched more innings are roughly the exact same quality.
