Because he thought there was a chance he'd win the pledged, but lose out because of the supers. Now that he's all but guaranteed to lose the pledged race, might as well beg the superdelegates now. Kind of hypocritical...
...but the superdelegates are not switching anyway. Hillary is all but guaranteed to have more votes, more delegates, and has a very good possibility of winning every demographic except young, white males. She's winning the Democraric demographics easily; he's winning independents only pretty much. So if the superdelegates switched to Bernie, it would probably rank as the biggest shocker in political history. Bernie has virtually no good claim to the superdelegates other than "I deserve to win", which is a pretty ####ty claim when he is likely to be millions of votes behind.

While he is definitely still facing an uphill battle. Notion that Clinton wins with Democrats entirely may not hold true anymore. Newest Bloomberg poll found Clinton is now behind Sanders in the national polls 49 to 48 among Democrats. The only demographic she still clearly wins is white rich women over 65.
