If results hold it will be Clinton: 11 -- Sanders: 18

Pledged Delegates *WV included (Delegates needed using just Pledged Delegates)
Clinton: 1717 * * (309) * * 34.4% needed
Sanders: 1437 * * (589) * * 65.7% needed

Total Remaining: 897


Automatic & Pledged Delegates *WV included (Delegates needed)
Clinton : 2220 * * (163) * * 15.3% needed
Sanders: 1478 * * (905) * * 84.9% needed

Total Remaining: 1066


Their premise that Sanders winning more states should be a criteria is hogwash. As each state is not equal. Giving equal weight with a New York to a Rhode Island is insane.

Also, it is not about winning the states. It is about winning the delegates. Even in the general election it is not about winning more states.
