Nationals pegged as 7/1 World Series favorites following Scherzer signing
H.Darr Beiser / USA TODAY Sports
The Washington Nationals are the favorites to win the 2015 World Series.
Already armed with arguably the best rotation in the majors, the Nationals reportedly inked Max Scherzer to a seven-year deal on Sunday and come in at 7/1 odds to claim the first championship in the organization's 46 year existence.
One of the most active offseasons in league history has seen the odds shift dramatically since the San Francisco Giants claimed their third title in five years back in October, with the Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, San Diego Padres, Houston Astros and Tampa Bay Rays seeing the most dramatic swings.
