You know exactly how many runs you have to score to win. That is an advantage. We can argue later about how big or small it is.

You also know many runs you can afford to let score. If I was up two runs and the home team had R3 and R1 with no outs, I would gladly trade a double play for a run. That and you had very good pitcher to close the game.
