The DR is hit by less hurricanes due to the high central mountains. Hurricanes typically follow the path of least resistance(usually) and high mountains are a formidable impediment for any hurricane.
As far as the US diverting hurricanes, I think the goal would be to have it diverted towards the north Atlantic until tit reach cold waters and dissipates, not to one of it's best friends, strategically located in the Caribbean.
