There seem to be enough formally uncommitted delegates that I suspect that Trump will have enough if you count informal commitments, but not quite enough that he will have it without them.
My guess is that the RNC wants to avoid a shit-show convention at all costs. If Trump is at, say, 1,227 formal commitments, the RNC will make sure that enough uncommitted delegates go for Trump that it will be clear that he will win first ballot.
Of course, at that point Cruz and his people will be pissed. But I think that Cruz will be made to play ball in exchange for getting pardoned for the Zodiac killings or some other such favor.
