https://fivethirtyeight.com/methodology/how-fivethirtyeights-house-and-senate-models-work/

Found this page and it says (model tweak: June 30,2022) that talks about how their model is going to work this year, it also has a thing at the top that says 2022 forecast and if you click on it takes it to this page that's not quite live yet: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-republicans-are-favored-to-win-the-house-but-not-the-senate/

MI-3 (Meijer, Biden +9): "Likely R", 90% chance of GOP hold
MI-10 (open, Trump +1): "Lean R", 73% chance of GOP hold

WI-GOV (Biden +<1): "Lean D", 64% chance of DEM hold
OR-GOV (Biden +16): "Lean D", 63% chance of DEM hold

Ok.

IDK about the first set, but the second set isn't a good comparison. WI has a dem incumbent running. OR is an open seat with a deeply unpopular governor (and the house majority leader is the dem nominee - at least somewhat tied to that governor), there is also an independent who has strong financial backing running named Betsy Johnson. She is a democrat turned independent who will take a lot of votes - though it's unclear from who. She is backed by Phil Knight (NIKE) and as I am visiting my family in Oregon since early June, Betsy Johnson has absolutely bombarded the airwaves with ads, with nothing from Tina Kotek or Drazan so far (I'm in Salem). So basically, it is very uncertain.

-snip-

Yes 538 has always put too much weight on incumbency, but sometimes it makes them better than the other models, for example they had a better chance than most of Susan Collins winning in Maine in 2020
