That's because all of their best pitchers were right handed, so those were the ones they used. They had one good left handed pitcher on their roster -- Joe Beimel. Is it your contention that if they were forced to use Beimel in some sort of lefty-lefty matchup situation, we would've won the series?
And, like Fella said, we had left handed batters on our roster and in our lineup. So there's that.
