If we are going to put Dyson in, though, here's our new order:
Escobar
Hosmer
Cain
Moose
Perez
Gordon
Infante
Dyson

I'm sorry, but that stuff is just a myth. Those guys aren't going to be thinking about where they're hitting in the order when they step in the box
Your order really should be:
1. Dyson
2. Cain
3. Gordon
4. Hosmer
When in KC:
5. Butler
6. Perez
7. Infante
8. Escobar
9. Moustakas
When in SF:
5. Perez
6. Infante
7. Moustakas
8. Escobar
You need to put your best hitters in the spot where they are most likely to produce. Just because you've won several playoff games with this lineup doesn't mean that it's the best lineup for the team.
If Yost put in Collins to face Posey when he had Davis available, he's still likely to have the decision work, but that doesn't make it the right one.
