Good rule of thumb (not an absolute). If a lefty does a move to first and has to throw sidearm, it's probably a balk. If you're body is moving away from something, it's tough to throw overhand. Almost every time I've seen a step balk called on lefties, they have to wing it over there sidearm because all of their body's momentum is going toward home.
