2015 Dodgers Best Lineup (vs LHP) Part II

.
I am looking at best lineup vs LHP again for the Dodgers using my simulator.  This time i substituted out Carl Crawford for Scott Van Slyke and substituted Joc Pederson out for Chris Heisey for platoon advantages purposes.  There are a few surprises here, mainly so many highly ranked permutations liking Van Slyke hitting leadoff.  Van Slyke mashes left handed pitching with both a high OBP and SLG with average speed at best.  So this is not a result you would see using traditional lineup building methods.  Of course very little logic and analytical thinking is put into the traditional methods as you tend to see a lot of inertial reasoning behind the arguments of where prototypical hitters should bat in the lineup.  So with no further ado, here are the Top 50 lineups vs LHP with the listed substitutions above along with a list of how many times each of the 8 hitters appears in each lineup spot.
