What is the difference in, real MLB schedules, that have or don't have the "ap" in the name?

IE
major_league_ml_c_2016.isdl
or
major_league_ml_c_2016.ap.isdl

Normally I play my game with the default schedule but this time I decided to import so I could get the correct rotating interleague match ups. For me this meant going back to the 2016 schedule. Start times seem to be off with west coast games being played too early.
IE west coast night games are done at
6 or 7pm CT making it 4-5 pm PT
instead of
9pm CT and 7pm PT as they should.

day games are like this too so some west coast games are being played around 10:30 am. etc.

FWIW the schedule I imported does not have the "ap" designation. I guess I didn't notice while importing that there were two 2016 schedules. I simply imported, checked I was playing against the correct AL division, looked at the schedule report to make sure total matchups looked right, All-Star game in proper spot, and moved on.

So I'm wondering if the schedule I imported is a "day game schedule" or something like that? If that's the case I'll finish out the season "as is", not going to start over but... It would be nice to know for my next season.

If that's not the reason for the time being off, well, then I'm really confused

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated

Thanks.
