Hurricane Ian could pose massive problems for the Phillies in D.C.

The Phillies are in Washington, DC for a four-game series starting on Friday. Hurricane Ian is forecast to hit the Tampa area tomorrow. The weather is expected to be nice for Friday's game, but more volatile on Saturday and Sunday. There is a 70% chance of rain beginning in the early morning hours of Saturday. The Phils are scheduled to play at 7:05 on Thursday, 1:35 on the Friday, a day-night doubleheader at 1.05 and 7.5 pm on both Saturday, and the series finale on Sunday at 2:45 pm.

The weather in Washington D.C. is very bad. The Phillies need to play two games on Friday and one on Saturday. If they are eliminated, the final game would be played on the off-day following the end of the regular season. They would have to travel to St. Louis or Atlanta to be their wild card team. Hurricane Ian could also affect the Mets vs. Braves series in Atlanta. The Rangers will play their final nine games in Milwaukee. Major League Baseball could consider a neutral site like Arlington Stadium in Texas. It would not be far from the Phils' next series against Houston. There is a 50% chance of rain in the area from Saturday night through Sunday.
