Answer
4 3 1.

Reasoning
This is the sequence of the length of the name of the month, and the number of days in that month.

7 3 1 = January, which has 7 letters, and 31 days.

8 2 8 = February, which has 8 letters, and 28 days.

5 3 1 = March, which has 5 letters, and 31 days.

5 3 0 = April, which has 5 letters, and 30 days.

3 3 1 = May, which has 3 letters, and 31 days.

4 3 0 = June, which has 4 letters, and 30 days.

Which means the next three digits are:

4 3 1 = July, which has 4 letters, and 31 days.
