can someone explain what the action points are?

Those are intended more for ATS sports like football and basketball. In baseball, they only apply to Totals and Run Lines and they are how many runs you beat the line by. So if you take an OVER 8 and the game lands on 10, you get +2.0 Action Points. If you take UNDER 7 and the game lands on 11, you get -4.0 AP. If you take a Run Line favorite -1.5 and they lose 4-1, you get -4.5 AP.
