Analytics are only as good as the person that is understanding them.
Analytics do say LH vs LH is better, and analytics do say that third time through the lineup is more likely to get hit...
But I would almost guarantee that analytics don't say to take out your starting pitcher who hasn't been touched through 3 innings with 5 strike outs, to bring in another starting pitcher who isn't used to pitching out of the bullpen with a man on base.
It's not analytics fault at that point, it's that the guy running things has no idea how to actually use the analytics at his disposal.
