I only play LHB who are good vs RHP in my lineup.
Under this strategy, sb suggested to have left-handed SP because it forces my opponent to use RHB which of course perform worse.
Is this consideration right?

I've used it and I have seen others use it effectively. It can give you an advantage at home which is only 1/2 your games. You still need decent left handers that can hit and field and good lefty starters that are equally effective against right handed hitters. It doesn't force your opponent to use Righties, but most users have more righty batters in their lineup when going against a lefty.
It's a radical strategy that can work when hosting a superior opponent. But it does also limit the talent you are trying to obtain.
