Houston Astros fans near and far predict the team will win against the Minnesota Twins in the ALDS by Game 3 or 4.
The Houston Astros are set to play Game 1 of the ALDS on Saturday and FOX 26's Sherman Desselle has fan reactions as they prepare for the playoffs.fans are grabbing gear, buying tickets, and hoping the team can swing for the ring for the second time in a row.
The team has one request for its fans: "Come out Saturday, support us, wear orange ... let's go 'Stros!" outfielder Kyle Tucker said on the team's TikTok account.Fans were spotted picking up their new postseason merchandise at the team store Friday evening. The franchise is setting up a street festival before fans head into the park for Games 1 and 2.
Many of the fans we spoke to Friday are confident the team can sweep the Twins, or at least shut them out by Game 4 of the ALDS. Last year, U of H math professor Cathy Poliak had the Astros winning it all with a success rate of about 79 percent. This year, she thinks the chances are favorable for an ALDS and World Series victory, but with a smaller percentage of about 60 percent. That's based on their winning record in the regular season, which was not as strong as 2022.
