This for sure. I tend to have always have an excellent defensive-type middle infielder in my saves who can bunt. With no outs, man on first in a tight game, with better hitters coming up behind, I'm not sure I can rationalize not bunting in most situations. It's more old-school but anecdotally, it has served me well.
That's very situational though and not a larger strategy.
