7 inning DH's and extra innings runners going away?

What I don't like about the 7 inning DH is that it changes the strategy in an odd way. If a team has strong starting pitching but a weak bullpen, a 7 inning game plays to their strengths more - you have to get your starter through 6 and now your middle relief doesn't matter. If a team has strong middle relief but a weaker rotation, they can go to their bullpen early and not have to worry about dropping 6 innings onto their bullpen and wearing it out as much. Changing how the game plays to teams' strengths and weaknesses because of rainouts in this way seems unpleasant to me.
