The chance looks microscopic to me.

See the "adjournment resolution" link. It reads to me like they are saying they will be conducting "pro-forma" business and not in "recess". I don't think he will risk it, and I don't think he should.
I think he should send up Sri's name (or whoever is next on his list from last time) and dare them to refuse to vote on it, or to vote him down. He may not win this round (but I think he very well might). If he doesn't, then Team D will have an even stronger hand in November when the Senate seats are decided....
Cheers,
Scott.
