I haven't run an updated simulation yet but I can make an educated guess:
Democrats keep both the House and the Senate 10

Democrats lose the House but keep the Senate 55

Democrats keep the House but lose the Senate 0

Democrats lose both the House and the Senat 35

20 + 45 + 10 + 55 = 130

well, i guess they are mutually exclusive, so...

Democrats keep both the House and the Senate - 9%

Democrats lose the House but keep the Senate  - 35%

Democrats keep the House but lose the Senate - 1%

Going by 538/Intrade, it's about 25% for the Democrats to keep the House or lose the Senate. It seems extraordinary unlikely for the Democrats to lose the Senate but keep the House though. How are you people saying 10, 15% getting that? If the macro environment is strong enough for a 10+ seat GOP gain in the Senate, it should be strong enough for a 60+ seat GOP gain in the House. What you would therefore need is a bunch of localised results countering the trend in both houses. The thing is though, the higher visibility Senate races are presumably more likely to be easier to localise, and localisation tends to benefit the Democrats.
