By answering correctly, Baggarly upped his total earnings to 7800, giving him a chance to win. If Baggarly could answer Final Jeopardy correctly, and if he wagered all 7800, this would bring his total to 15,600.

However, Mike entered Final Jeopardy with 15,400, so in order to win, Baggarly would need one of the following two scenarios to play out...

a) Mike to answer incorrectly, regardless of how much he wagered
b) Mike to answer correctly, but wager less than 200, which would mean he could not eclipse Baggarly's 15,600.

Note: According to Jeopardy's Wikipedia page, "If two or three contestants are tied for first place following Final Jeopardy! during non-tournament play, both (or all three) are declared co-champions and appear on the next episode."
