I assume that no other bullpen has zero lefties in it.

The Astros went through much of 2019 without a leftie in the pen. Both Ryan Pressley and Will Harris were better against LHBs than against RHBs. They also didn't have a LHP in the pen in their run to the WS last year.

L/R doesn't matter if RHP's can get LHBs out.
