There will be more Republicans up for reelection than Democrats. That's a good thing. But the Republicans who are up are in states that are safe for Republicans. WV, KY, NC, SC, GA, LA, AR, NE, SD ... We might be able to pick up a seat in Colorado, Maaaaaybe NC or GA, but all the others are longshots. At the same time, we're almost certain to lose Doug Jones in Alabama, and we're not at all safe with Mark Warner's seat in Virginia. Jeanne Shaheen in NH should watch out, too.

If I was betting, I'd imagine it'll remain 53R, 47D, and then it's slowly downhill from there for the next few cycles.
