It will likely cross over one of the two locations you mentioned. There is a chance it could miss both, which would be really bad as there would be nothing to hinder it.
But both locations are pretty flat and it would only stay over them for a short period of time. If it was 140mph winds before it hit those land masses, it would be like 120mph coming out the other side. Not to mention the Gulf it really hot and it could explode even stronger than it was before it got into the gulf.
The short answer, if it hit Cuba or the Yucatan it would help a little, but overall , not really.
