In September the Dodgers were using in big games regularly 6 and 7 bench players. Grandal for instance had all of 13 CG in the 28 games in September plus Oct 1. In October they won't be able to get into anywhere near as many good situations. In game 3, the one they lost- they only made 4 bench moves and Barnes didn't come in- heck, Barnes never played in the series. In the Braves series- Braves lefties had a 4.09 ERA, compared to a 5.09 ERA for the righties. And I dare say the Brewers lefties are a lot better than the Braves ones are.

Oh, and in September the Dodgers did have a .324 babip vs lhp. Compared to a .287 for the season.

Firstly, I'm not sure what your overall point is. The Dodgers are one of the better hitting teams vs LHP. Yes, they're better vs righties, but they're still a top lineup vs LHP. Second, outside of Hader what lefties do the Brewers have that are so good? Their left handed, Game 1 SP had a 4.93 ERA after the ASB.
