"Oh, 100 percent," fan Kristal Perez said. "They're going to go all the way."

And there's one performance they're especially jazzed about.

Jose Altuve's three home runs helped lift the team, but also the crowd. Many fans chanted "MVP" during and after the game in support of the second baseman.

"You know they have the capability of putting a lot of runs on the board," fan Greg Alley said. "That's what they did today. Altuve came through. Amazing experience."

The Astros still have to win two more games before moving to the American League Championship Series.

Some fans are pretty confident about their chances.

"Chances? I don't think there's no doubt," Ray Mastroldo said. "Chances? One hundred percent. Three-game sweep."

First pitch for Game 2 Friday afternoon at Minute Maid Park is set for 1:05 p.m.
