I don't love it either. personally I would leave Saunders in. He's hot and hits lefties actually better than he has right handers so far this year. Makes sense so won't get upset but I just prefer the hot hand over the matchup.

Upton as DH makes sense though. This can easily turn into a bullpen game and Gibby may need to pinch hit in that spot should it get there. Much easier to do that with a DH then someone who is in the field.
