Top of the 7th on the road, Score 3-1 I'm winning
1 out, men on 1st and 2nd
Pitcher is up, decent bunter, but I am scared of the double play.
Pitcher is pitching well, 5 hits, 1 run and pitch count is low.
Should I hit, bunt, or pinch?

Rest your pen, have the pitcher bunt, save the pinch hitter for later in the game. If your pitcher has that low pitch count and has given up only 5 hits, leave him in at least one more inning. If all goes right, you've got 2nd and 3rd w/2 outs and still have your starter on the mound. Just have your runners moving on the pitch to avoid DP.

Go for the Homer! otherwise, you're already winning in the 7th, there's less than 50% chance that the other team will come back to win.

Let him hit away.
Chances are he will put the ball in play.
When the ball is in play, good things happen.
