Can the Yankees finish off the Phillies tonight? (AP Images)

The New York Yankees look to win their record 27th title and first in nine years tonight, while the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies try to force a return to the Bronx as they turn to a rested Cliff Lee for a must-win Game 5.

World Series betting odds have the Phillies listed as -139 home favorites.

Behind solid pitching and timely hitting, the Yankees are one win away from their first World Series title since 2000, following a 7-4 victory over the Phillies in Game 4 on Sunday.

The Phillies hope to rally and become the first NL team to repeat as champions since Cincinnati in 1975-76. If Philadelphia succeeds in extending the series, it will return to the Bronx for Game 6 on Wednesday.

Lee is 3-0 with an 0.54 ERA in the postseason. He will battle A.J. Burnett, who is 4-0 with a 2.33 ERA in four career starts on short rest.
