HOUSTON – Houston Astros fans are fired up on social media Thursday morning with a variety of predictions and enthusiastic reactions to a Game 5 against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Many are making tentative predictions and steering well clear of any overly-ambitious language to ward off any bad karma, and others are just celebrating the team and sending their hopes -- and prayers -- toward the team's players.

Here are some of the best social media predictions and reactions we're seeing ahead of today's big game.
I predicted the #Astros as #WorldSeries champs before the season ever started. The Rays are giving them quite a pesky little fight. Going to be an exciting game 5 today, but I think Cole will get it done. Astros win this one.

This has been me since 3:30am thinking about the #Astros. Can we just drop 6 in the first and just beat these Rays down, please?? #TakeItBack pic.twitter.com/KlWTqwHUot

I can only be honest here on the Twitterverse. I had a horrible dream that the #Astros lost the game today. I am going to wear all the good juju gear I own, but I think the dream was a premonition.

When the #Astros get that third out in the ninth and are officially the winners of their own division series, I'll go ahead and talk about the Dodgers. But only when/if that happens. pic.twitter.com/tgIqztScBt

I know you’re not a meteorologist, but what do you think the chances of a Cole front coming through tonight? @adamclanton #astros
