The main thing that looks good for Republicans is obviously that almost every close race is in a Republican state.

My view is that Republicans are basically guaranteed 3 seats (WV, SD, MT). Then we have a bunch of close races: GA and KY for Republicans, NC, IA, CO, AK, AR and LA for Democrats. If the tossups split 50-50 Republicans get 4 seats which means a net gain of 2 for a total net gain of 5. So I keep the Democrats as narrow favourites to hold but it's sort of anyone's guess when you have this number of close races.
