I'm curious what the baseball analytics say.

That bunt earned a run, but what would be the expected runs with runners on 1st and 2nd with 0 outs, versus runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out?

It’s higher with runners on 1st and 2nd, 0 outs.

In general, you increase your chance to score 1 run but decrease your run expectancy by severely lowering the chance of a big inning.

Even if the expected runs is higher if you don’t bunt, I bet the probability of scoring at least one run is higher if you bunt.

I’d be curious to see that too though.
