August 17, 2018 at 4:22 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Inside Elections shifted their race ratings of 30 House contests in the direction of Democrats and just two towards Republicans.
There are now 86 total seats in play, of which 76 are currently held by Republicans.
Nathan Gonzales: This cycle, the wave analogy has been watered down and its time for a new metaphor: fire. More specifically, fires.
Whether its GOP Members in Hillary Clinton districts, extraordinary Democratic challengers and fundraising, competitive open seats, or lazy incumbents, Republicans have dozens of fires around the country, and the party might not have enough resources to put them all out.

IN (Donnelly) and ND (Heitkamp), off the top of my head.
Think Tester in MT is going to be okay.
