I don't see what is so sensationalistic about this at all. The GOP is widely favored to take back the Senate, and picking up one more seat along the way is hardly an earth-shattering prediction.
It's basically been a coin toss this whole cycle, never fluctuating further than 55-45 and 45-55 odds for both sides. Both Dem hacks and Republican hacks both know it, even if they won't admit it.
I think the GOP has retained a slight advantage by most forecasters, but I think they may be able to get to 7 or so, just based on the Generic Ballot right now really shifting GOP.
