A couple of points:

On CNN last night, they kept mentioning that if Obama were to hypothetically win every remaining state by a 55-45 margin, he still wouldn't amass enough delegates to clinch the nomination. Since Hillary is already behind in pledged delegates, the same thing applies to her. Thus, it becomes a question of momentum. If one can really swing some larger margins, then maybe they can make a run.

Regarding Michigan and Florida, it's a little more than just a gentleman's agreement. The DNC is running the primary process and the convention, but the state parties were setting the dates. Since the MI and FL decided to spurn the DNC's agreed upon dates and move up in the fray, they removed their delegates. The DNC is holding all the cards, the pressure will be on them to change or not change their earlier ruling.

However, should MI and FL's delegates suddenly count, that moves the goalposts, too, and both candidates would need more delegates to clinch the nomination. They would help Clinton, no doubt, but the goal then becomes 2,208 delegates, not 2,025.
